Trade Mistakes
Placing a smile at the perfect eventGracing your skin with the side of my handIf I ever leave I could learn to miss youBut “sentimental boy” is my nom de plume
Let me save you, hold this rope
I may never sleep tonightAs long as you're still burning brightIf I could trade mistakes for sheepCount me away before you sleepSo I'll stay awake ‘til I trade my mistakesOr they fade away
I feel marooned in this bodyDeserted, my organs can go on without meYou can't fly these wingsYou can't sleep in this box with me
Let me save you, hold this rope
I may never sleep tonightAs long as you're still burning brightIf I could trade mistakes for sheepCount me away before you sleepI'll stay awake till I trade my mistakesOr they fade away
So let me trade you, hold this ropeAnd I'll pull you in‘Cause I am an anchor, save her orFeel it sinking inLet me save you, hold this ropeI am an anchor, sinking her
I may never sleep tonightAs long as you're still burning brightIf I could trade mistakes for sheepCount me away before you sleepI'll stay awake till I trade my mistakesOr they fade away
