Trade Mistakes (Lyrics)

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, 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, 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, I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes Or they fade away. So let 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. 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, I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes Or they fade away.
