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 (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
