Lyrics

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 till 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 (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 till I trade my mistakes
So they fade away
So let me save you, hold this hope
Then I'll pull you in
'Cause I am an anchor, save her or feel it sinking in
Let me save you, hold this rope (this is the greatest story ever told)
I am an anchor, sinking on (with lightning in my head to be brought to the world)
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 till I trade my mistakes
So they fade away
