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 as 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 still wait 'til I trade my mistakes
So they fade away.
I feel marooned in this body,
Deserted my organs, could 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 still wait 'til I trade my mistakes
So they fade away.
So let me save you, hold this rope,
And I'll pull you in,
'Cause I am an anchor, save her,
Oh, I feel it sinking in,
Let me save you, hold this rope,
I am an anchor sinking her.
(ho, oh, oh, oh)
As long as you're still burning bright,
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
Count me away before you sleep,
I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes
So they fade away.
