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 With sentimental boy as my nom de plume Let me save you of this wrong 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 till 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 of this wrong 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 till I trade my mistakes, So they fade away Don't let me tell you of this wrong, Then I'll pull you in 'Cause I am an anchor, save her oar Feel it sinking in Don't let me save you of this wrong I am an anchor, sinking on 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 till I trade my mistakes, So they fade away
