Lyrics
[verse]
I've been chasing paper dreams that never seem to add up right,
Working all the hours just to lose them in the night,
The anthemic chorus rises like a wish upon the sky,
Wondering if the answers I'm chasing pass me by.
[verse]
Everybody's counting money, counting hours, counting cost,
But I'd rather count the moments that would never should be lost,
The string samples are shimmering like something bright and true,
Reminding me there's more to life than what we're rushing through.
[chorus]
Under the same old sky I'm counting stars tonight,
Trading in the numbers for a different kind of light,
Everything that scares me makes me feel a little more real,
Under the same old sky, counting stars is how I heal.
[verse]
Maybe all this hustle isn't leading where I need,
Maybe simple moments are the only wealth I need,
The uplifting rhythm carries me above the daily grind,
Teaching me the richest things are hardest ones to find.
[chorus]
Under the same old sky I'm counting stars tonight,
Trading in the numbers for a different kind of light,
Everything that scares me makes me feel a little more real,
Under the same old sky, counting stars is how I heal.
[bridge]
(instrumental — anthemic pop rock, uplifting string swell)
[chorus]
Under the same old sky I'm counting stars tonight,
Trading in the numbers for a different kind of light,
Everything that scares me makes me feel a little more real,
Under the same old sky, counting stars is how I heal.
