Trade Mistakes Lyrics

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 (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
So they fade away

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

Let me save you, hold this rope

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
So they fade away

So let me save you, hold this hope
Then 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 the greatest story ever told)
I am an anchor, sinking on (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 till I trade my mistakes
So they fade away

What is the Meaning of Trade Mistakes?

In this emotionally charged track by Panic! at the Disco, the lyrics explore themes of regret, redemption, and emotional turmoil. The narrator grapples with past mistakes and a desire to make amends, symbolized by trading those mistakes for sleep—a metaphor for peace or resolution. The imagery of being marooned in one's own body and feeling like an anchor highlights a sense of being weighed down by guilt and responsibility. The repeated plea to "hold this rope" suggests a desperate attempt to save someone else as a way to find personal salvation. Ultimately, the song delves into the struggle between self-forgiveness and the quest for redemption through acts of love and sacrifice.
