Counting Stars
Karizma Duo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah we'll be counting stars
I see this life, like a swinging vine
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-I-I-I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I-I-I-I feel something so wrong
Doing 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 losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I feel the 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
On just doing what we're told
I-I-I-I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned
Everything that kills me, makes feel alive...
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned

They do not believe that the world is sold on just following the rules and doing what they are told. The singer feels something so right about doing the wrong thing and feels something so wrong doing the right thing. They admit that they are willing to take risks that others might consider foolish because they believe that everything that kills them makes them feel alive.
Overall, "Counting Stars" is a reminder to chase dreams and take risks, even if it means going against the grain or doing something that might be considered "wrong." The song encourages listeners to embrace uncertainty and to pursue the things that make them feel alive.

Said no more counting dollars
Not focusing only on money
We'll be counting stars
We'll be appreciating the little things in life
Yeah we'll be counting stars
We'll be counting every moment of happiness we have
I see this life, like a swinging vine
Life is unpredictable, like a vine that sways back and forth
Swing my heart across the line
Taking a risk and putting your heart on the line
And in my face is flashing signs
The world is full of signs and opportunities
Seek it out and ye' shall find
If you search for what you want, you'll eventually find it
Old, but I'm not that old
I'm not too old to chase my dreams
Young, but I'm not that bold
I have the youth and energy to chase my dreams, but not the courage
And I don't think the world is sold
I don't believe the world is only interested in material things
On just doing what we're told
Conforming to societal expectations is not the only option
I-I-I-I feel something so right
I feel something deep inside me that is telling me I'm on the right track
Doing the wrong thing
My actions may seem unconventional, but they feel right to me
I-I-I-I feel something so wrong

I feel the love and I feel it burn
I am deeply in love and feel both the passion and pain of it
Down this river, every turn
Life is a journey and can be unpredictable
Hope is our four-letter word
Hope is a powerful force that can propel us forward
Make that money, watch it burn
Money is not everything and can be easily lost
I feel something so wrong
I have doubts about my decisions
Doing the right thing
I am trying to do the right thing despite my doubts
I could lie, could lie, could lie
I could deceive myself or others, but I choose not to
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Things that bring me down motivate me to reach for the sky
Take that money
Money is not everything
Watch it burn
Money can be easily lost
Sink in the river
Money is not the most important thing
The lessons I've learned
I've learned that money is not everything and that there are more important things in life
