Counting Stars Lyrics - The Voice

[Chorus] 

Lately I been, I been losing sleep 

Dreaming about the things that we could be 

But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 

Said no more counting dollars 

We'll be counting stars 

Yeah, we'll be counting stars 

[Verse 1] 

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 

I'm just doing what we're told 

I feel something so right 

At doing the wrong thing 

I feel something so wrong 

At doing the right thing 

I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie 

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive 

[Chorus] 

Lately I been, I been losing sleep 

Dreaming about the things that we could be 

But baby I been, I been praying hard 

Said no more counting dollars 

We'll be counting stars 

Lately I been, I been losing sleep 

Dreaming about the things that we could be 

But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 

Said no more counting dollars 

We'll be, we'll be counting stars 

[Verse 2] 

I feel the 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 

And I don't think the world is sold 

I'm just doing what we're told 

And I feel something so wrong 

At doing the right thing 

I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie 

Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly 

[Chorus] 

Lately I been, I been losing sleep 

Dreaming about the things that we could be 

But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 

Said no more counting dollars 

We'll be counting stars 

Lately I been, I been losing sleep 

Dreaming about the things that we could be 

But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 

Said no more counting dollars 

We'll be, we'll be counting stars 

[Bridge 4x:] 

Take that money 

Watch it burn 

Sink in the river 

The lessons I learned 

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive 

[Chorus] 

Lately I been, I been losing sleep 

Dreaming about the things that we could be 

But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 

Said no more counting dollars 

We'll be counting stars 

Lately I been, I been losing sleep 

Dreaming about the things that we could be 

But baby I been, I been prayin' hard 

Said no more counting dollars 

We'll be, we'll be counting stars 

[Outro 4x:] 

Take that money 

Watch it burn 

Sink in the river 

The lessons I learned
