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 non 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 awake before you sleep I'll stay awake til I dream 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 (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 awake before you sleep I'll stay awake till I trade my mistakes so they fade away Don't Let me 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 (This is only the greatest story ever told) I am an anchor sinking her oh oh ooh (With lightening 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 awake before you sleep I'll stay awake til I trade my mistakes or they fade away
