[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me save you, hold this rope
[Chorus]
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 until I trade my mistakes
So they fade away
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me save you, hold this rope
[Chorus]
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 until I trade my mistakes
So they fade away
[Bridge]
So let me save you
Hold this rope and I'll pull you in
Because I am an anchor
Save her or feel it sinking in
Let me save you, hold this rope
I am an anchor, sinking her
[Chorus]
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 until I trade my mistakes
So they fade away
