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 playing hard,
Sitting, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars

Swing my heart across the line

And my face is flashing signs

Seek it out and you shall find
