Counting Stars (from One Night in Malibu) Songtext
von OneRepublic

Lately, I′ve been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
And baby, I′ve been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Oh, we′ll be counting stars"

Woo!
Ooh!

I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye′ shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I′m not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
Just doing what we′re told

And I feel something so right, doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong, doing the right thing
Couldn't lie, couldn′t lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive


(Lately) I've been, I′ve been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I′ve been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we′ll be counting stars"

Lately, I've been, I′ve been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I′ve been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, uuh, we'll be counting stars"

Whoa, oh
Yeah

I feel your love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is our four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I′m not that bold
And I don′t think the world is sold
Just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong, doing the right thing
Couldn′t lie, couldn't lie, couldn′t lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly


Lately, I've been, I′ve been losing sleep (c'mon)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I′ve been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we′ll be counting stars"
I said, lately, I've been, I′ve been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
And baby, I've been, I′ve been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be, we′ll be counting stars"

Oh, oh

(Zach Filkins on guitar, everbody)

Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
Baby, take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
You can take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I′ve learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I′ve learned

Everything that kills me, yeah, makes me feel alive

(Lately) I've been, I′ve been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
And baby, I've been, I′ve been praying hard
Said "no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"

I said, lately, I′ve been, I've been losing sleep, yeah
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I′ve been praying hard
Said "no more counting dollars, we′ll be, we'll be counting"

Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I′ve learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I′ve learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
