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 awake before you sleep I'll stay awake till 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 (never sleep tonight) As long as you're still burning bright If I could trade mistakes for sheep Count me awake before you sleep I'll stay awake till I trade my mistakes Or they fade away Don't let me save you, hold this rope 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 I am an anchor sinking (whoa-oh-oh-oh) I may never sleep tonight As long as you're still burning bright If I could trade mistakes for sheep Count me awake before you sleep I'll stay awake till I trade my mistakes Or they fade away
