Lyrics
[verse]
Lyin' on the rooftop, city lights below
Chasing bigger numbers everywhere I go
Working through the midnight, running out of time
Wondering if the paycheck's worth the climb
[chorus]
I've been counting stars instead of counting cash
Slower now, I'm learning not to rush
Every little moment means more than the gold
There's a richer story that my heart has told
[verse]
Used to think that winning meant a bigger house
Louder cars, a name that echoes out
But the quiet mornings, coffee with a friend
Feel like something money couldn't ever send
[chorus]
I've been counting stars instead of counting cash
Slower now, I'm learning not to rush
Every little moment means more than the gold
There's a richer story that my heart has told
[bridge]
Take the wheel and drive me far from all the noise
Show me what the world looks like without the poise
Every star's a promise that I'm still alive
Not for what I'm worth but for the life I find
[chorus]
I've been counting stars instead of counting cash
Slower now, I'm learning not to rush
Every little moment means more than the gold
There's a richer story that my heart has told
