I think this song's based on a couple struggling to pay their bills, or debts. As there is proof, I might as well say it. It clearly says,
'Instead of counting dollars,
We'll be counting stars,'
Or maybe they're just worried about the money that they currently have. Therefore they want to forget about the struggles and supposing so, as one of the verses do say,
'Dreaming 'bout the things that we could be,'
'I've been prayin' hard'
'Lately I've been losing sleep'
It might be small clues to what gambling could reference to. Slots have three stars, putting them into a whole-three-row means a jackpot.
They may have also lost tracks of their dreams, hurrying in drugs as 'Everything that kills me makes me feel alive,' do indicate a small proof-shot of drugs.
As he says 'take that money watch it burn,' it could also mean that money disappears quicker than you imagine by spending things.
Most people have swings in their lives 'I can see this life like a swinging vine' (or something like that) and if you think about you swinging on a vine, the vine may snap and it will take you a long time to hurry back up. I feel of this money-wise.
'And I don't think the world is sold,
I'm just doing what we're told,'
'Sold' means that something is bought. Buying things may reason for overuse of money. This part could indicate that you shouldn't buy too many things as it could cause debts and loss of money, and 'I'm just doing what we're told,' means that somebody told him not to use money when you don't need it.
'Everything that drowns me makes me want to fly,'
In this part, the writer talks about things that we aren't capable to do. Flying isn't possible unless there is something to support us to fly. Things need support. For example, debts need loans or advice, bullying needs to be told, airplanes need wheels to land smoothly, astronauts need oxygen because you can't breath in space and etc.
Flying makes you feel like you want to do it, without support. But because of that report, it is forbidden without 'support' from others, for example, it needs to be told to, needs permission before heading off.
