Trade Mistakes lyrics

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
