[Intro: XTRATUNA]
Lately, I been, I been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But, baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' pounds, we'll be countin' stars
Yeah, we'll be countin' stars"
(Woo!)
[Verse 1: XTRATUNA]
I see this life like a swingin' vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashin' signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
[Refrain: XTRATUNA]
The 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
[Pre-Chorus: XTRATUNA]
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
[Chorus: XTRATUNA]
Lately, I been, I been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But, baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' pounds, we'll be countin' stars"
Lately, I been, I been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But, baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' pounds, we'll be, we'll be countin' stars", yeah
[Instrumental Interlude: XTRATUNA, spoken]
Jesus
Yeah! Here we go
[Verse 2: XTRATUNA]
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 (Hoo!)
[Refrain: XTRATUNA and high-pitched backing vocals]
Old, but I'm not that old (Old, but I'm not that old)
Young, but I'm not that bold (Young, but I'm not that bold)
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doin' what we're told
[Pre-Chorus: XTRATUNA]
And I feel somethin' so wrong doin' the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
[Chorus: XTRATUNA]
Lately, I been, I been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But, baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' pounds, we'll be countin' stars"
Lately, I been, I been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But, baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' pounds, we'll be, we'll be countin' stars"
[Bridge: XTRATUNA and high-pitched backing vocals]
Ooo, take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money, watch it burn (Take that money, watch it burn)
Sink in the river the lessons I learned (Sink in the river the lessons I learned)
Take that money, watch it burn (Take that money, watch it burn)
Sink in the river the lessons I learned (Sink in the river the lessons I learned)
[Pre-Chorus: XTRATUNA]
Everything that kills me mmm-makes me feel alive
[Outro: XTRATUNA and high-pitched backing vocals]
Lately, I been, I been losin' sleep
(oo-oo-oo-ooo)
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
(oo-oo-oo-ooo)
But, baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
(oo-oo-oo-ooo)
Said, "No more countin' pounds, we'll be countin' stars"
(oo-oo-oo-ooo)
Lately, I been, I been writin' songs
(oo-oo-oo-ooo)
Thinkin' about you, how it's been so long
(oo-oo-oo-ooo)
But, baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
(oo-oo-oo-ooo)
Said, "No more countin' pounds, we'll be, we'll be countin' stars"
