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 away before you sleep
I'll stay awake, til I trade my mistakes
So 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
So 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 her (oh)
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
So they fade away
