Trade Mistakes Songtext
von Panic! at the Disco

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 ′til 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 'til I trade my mistakes
Or they fade away

So 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 ever told)
I am an anchor, sinking her (With lightning 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 away before you sleep
I'll stay awake ′til I trade my mistakes
Or they fade away
