Counting Stars (2023 Version)
I see this life like a swingin' vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashin' 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
On just doin' what we're told
And I feel somethin' so right
Doin' the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
Doin' the right thing
I couldn't lie
Couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
And, baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars"
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
And, baby, I'vе been, I've been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we'll bе
We'll be countin' stars"
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 doin' what we're told
And I feel something so wrong
Doin' the right thing
I couldn't lie
Couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
And, baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard (Oh)
Said, "No more countin' dollars
We'll be countin' stars" (Oh)
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
And, baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard (Hard)
Said, "No more countin' dollars
We'll be, we'll be countin' stars"
Oh woah
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
You can 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
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
And, baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars"
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
And, baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars
We'll be, we'll be countin' stars"
Take that money, watch it burn (Woah)
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
(We'll be countin' stars)
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn (Ooh)
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned (Ooh)
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
