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
