Lately I been losing sleep. Dreaming about the things that we could be. But, baby, I been praying hard. Said no more counting dollars we'll be counting stars. I see this life like a swinging vine. Swing my heart across the line. In my faces flashing suns. 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. Everything that kills me makes me feel alive. Lately I been losing sleep. Dreaming about the things that we could be. But, baby, I been praying hard. Said no more counting dollars we'll be counting stars. 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. I feel something so right at doing the wrong thing. I feel something so wrong at doing the right thing. I could lie. Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly. Lately I been losing sleep. Take that money and watch it burn. Sink in the river. The lessons I learned.
