Music Monday -- OneRepublic "Counting Stars"
I just really like OneRepublic. It's nothing super different or new, but solid good music. And I'm really digging their new album, Native.
Lyrics:
[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 could lie, could lie, could 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 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
[Verse 2]I feel the loveAnd I feel it burnDown this river every turnHope 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 could lie, could lie, could lie Everything that downs 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
Bonus Video: OneRepublic and Michelle Chamuel on S4 of The Voice. I was totaling rooting for her to win the entire thing. She is amazing!
