Panic! At the Disco Lyrics

Trade Mistakes

 Album - Vices and Virtues - 2011

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
