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 (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 'till I trade my mistakes Or 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 (Fly these wings) You can't sleep in this box with me (Ah-ah-ah-ah) [Pre-Chorus] Let me save you, hold this rope [Chorus] I may never sleep tonight (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 'till I trade my mistakes Or they fade away [Bridge] Don't 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 (This is only the greatest story every told) I am an anchor, sinking her (With lightning in my head to be brought to the world) [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 'till I trade my mistakes Or they fade away
