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
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 ’til I trade my mistakes or they fade away
So let me save 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 ’til I trade my mistakes or they fade away
