Trade Mistakes

Placing a smile at the perfect event,

Gracing your skin with the side of my hand.

If I ever leave I could learn to miss you.

But "sentimental boy" is my nom de plume.



Let me save you, hold this rope.



I may never sleep tonight.

As long as you're still burning bright.

If I could trade mistakes for sheep,

Count me away before you sleep.

So I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes or they fade away.



I feel marooned in this body.

Deserted; my organs can go on without me.

You can't fly these wings (fly these wings)

You can't sleep in this box with me.



Let me save you, hold this rope.



I may never sleep tonight.

As long as you're still burning bright.

If I could trade mistakes for sheep,

Count me away before you sleep.

So I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes or they fade away.



So let me me save you,

Hold this rope and I'll pull you in.

'Cause I am an anchor.

Save her or feel it sinking in.

Let me save you, hold this rope.

I am an anchor, sinking her.

Oh oh ooh



I may never sleep tonight.

As long as you're still burning bright.

If I could trade mistakes for sheep,

Count me away before you sleep.

So I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes or they fade away.
