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
(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
So 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
(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
So they fade away

So let me save you, hold this rope
And I'll pull you in
'Cause I am an anchor, save her
Oh, I feel it sinking in

Let me save you, hold this rope
I am an anchor sinking her
(Oh)

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
So they fade away
