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
(This is only the greatest story ever told)
I am an anchor sinking her
(With lightning in my head to be brought to the world)
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
