COUNTING STARS Exercises

By ONE REPUBLIC

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

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, coudn'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
(x2)

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
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, coudn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that downs 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, we'll be counting stars

(x2)

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned

(repeat)

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
(x2)

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned

Leikai Eteima Mathu Nabagi Wari Facebook Today Video Better < 2025 >

Here’s a short, whimsical paragraph that weaves the exact phrase you provided into a playful story: On a breezy Saturday morning, Maya opened and saw a notification that caught her eye: “ Leikai eteima mathu nabagi wari Facebook today video better .” She laughed, wondering what mysterious language the algorithm had mashed together, but curiosity got the better of her. Clicking the link, she was whisked into a lively community feed from a small neighborhood— leikai —where locals shared videos of their daily rituals. One clip showed a group of children performing a traditional dance called eteima , while an elder named Mathu narrated the history behind each step. Nearby, a cheerful baker named Nabagi posted a short video of her dough rising, promising that the video would make everyone’s afternoon a little brighter. The caption read, “ Wari —watch and enjoy! Today’s video is better than ever, because it’s shared with love.” Maya smiled, feeling a warm connection to strangers across the screen, and she decided to comment, “Thanks for the wonderful glimpse into your world—this really made my day!”
