Trade Mistakes


"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 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 away before you sleep. I'll stay awake till I trade my mistakes Or 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, 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 away before you sleep. I'll stay awake till I trade my mistakes Or they fade away So, let me save you hold this rope and ill pull you in Cause I am an anchor save her or Feel it sinking in Let me save you, hold this rope I am an anchor, sinking her 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"

I live, I look, I read, I smile, I laugh. It's funny how the simplicity of all of that can be confusing, but that's people for you.
