Counting Stars / The Monster

(album: Cover Collaborations, Vol. 3 - 2014)

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
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

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing

'Cause I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh (Oh, Oh) [2x]
Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh [2x]

I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Take 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

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing

'Cause I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh (Oh, Oh) [2x]
Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh [2x]

[Bridge 3x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Take that money
Watch it burn

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh [2x]
Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh [2x]

[2x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned
