Counting Stars (2023 Version)

Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And 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
On just doing what we're told

I feel something so right doin' the wrong thing
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 lately 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

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
I'm just doing what we're told

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 (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Said: No more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars (oh-oh, ohh)
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, take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
You could take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
You could take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
You could 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 counting stars

Take that money, watch it burn (burn)
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn (we'll be counting stars)
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
(Ooh) take that money, watch it burn
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river, the lessons I've learned
