Counting Stars - OneRepublic
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/onerepublic/countingstars.html
This is a pretty straight-forward song. The artists use tone to show us the theme: this guy is just trying to make it out there. On a broad level, the song talks about him making it in the industry and life in general. He refers to his age a few times, basically saying that he is somewhere between being old and young, and that he is getting the opposite reaction one would expect to get from things.
On a more specific level, he is speaking to his lover, and talking about what he sees in their future together. When he says "no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars", I take that to mean that he is telling them that they won't have to worry about money problems (which every successful singer seems to have a song about), and that they will shoot above the rest and be among the "stars".
