Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep,
Dreaming about the things that we could be,
Baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be counting stars,
We'll be counting stars.

I see this life,
Like a swinging vine,
Swing my heart across the line,
In my face is flashing signs,
Seek it out and ya shall find,
Old, but I'm not that old,
Young, but I'm not that bold,
I don't think the world is sold,
I'm just doing what we're told.

I feel something so wrong,
In doing the right thing,
I feel something so right,
In doing the wrong thing,
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,
Baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be counting stars,
We'll be counting stars.

I feel this love,
And I feel it burn,
Down this river every turn,
Hope is a four letter word,
Make that money, watch it burn,
Old, but I'm not that old,
Young, but I'm not that bold,
I don't think the world is sold,
I'm just doing what we're told.

I feel something so wrong,
In doing the right thing,
I feel something so right,
In doing the wrong thing,
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive.

Take that money and watch it burn,
Sink in the river,
The lessons I've learned,
Take that money and watch it burn,
Sink in the river,
The lessons I've learned,
Sink in the river,
The lessons I've learned,
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive.
