Butch Walker - Trade Mistakes lyrics

[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
