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
As long as you're still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me away before you sleep
So 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 till I trade my mistakes
Or they fade away
So let me trade 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 till I trade my mistakes
Or they fade away
