Counting Stars - OneRepublic
[Intro]
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
Yeah we'll be counting stars

[Drop]
I see this life like a swinging vine swing my heart across the line

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By 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

[Chorus]
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
Hey
I feel your love and I feel it burn down this river every turn

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel something so wrong
By doing 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 losing sleep

[Chorus]
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
Oh take that money watch it burn sink in the river the lessons I've learned

[Bridge]
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 me feel alive
Lately I've been I've been losing sleep

[Chorus]
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
Take that money watch it burn sink in the river the lessons I've learned

[Outro]
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


Item Shop Appearances

Item Shop Appearances[]

Counting Stars has appeared in 492 different Item Shops on 437 different days.

Why are there shops labelled as 'parts'?
For varying reasons, Epic Games may decide to add or remove items from the Item Shop before the usual rotation occurs. The Fortnite Wiki treats each change to the Item Shop within a single day as a separate 'part' that makes up the day's Item Shop History.
Why are there two different numbers for Counting Stars's appearances?
Counting Stars has, on at least one occasion, appeared in more than one shop in a single day. This has resulted in its count for appearances in the Item Shop being higher than the amount of days it has appeared in it. Both counts are listed by the Fortnite Wiki in order to be as accurate as possible, unlike other sources.
