[Intro] [Verse] 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 as my nom de plume. [Pre-Chorus] Let me save you, hold this rope. [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 still wait 'til I trade my mistakes So they fade away. [Interlude] [Verse] I feel marooned in this body, Deserted my organs, could go on without me, You can't fly these wings, You can't sleep in this box with me, [Pre-Chorus] Let me save you, hold this rope. [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 still wait 'til I trade my mistakes So they fade away. [Bridge] So let me save you, hold this rope, And I'll pull you in, 'Cause I am an anchor, save her, Oh, I feel it sinking in, Let me save you, hold this rope, I am an anchor sinking her. [Chorus] N.C. 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 still wait 'til I trade my mistakes So they fade away. 6.Ready To Go (Get Me Out Of My Mind) [Intro] x4 [Verse ] You've got these little things that you've been running from You either love it or I guess you don't You're such a pretty thing to be running from anyone A vision with nowhere to go [Pre-Chorus] So tell me right now you think you're ready for it I wanna know why you got me going So let's go we'll take it out of here I think I'm ready to leave I'm ready to live [Chorus] I'm ready to go (Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind) I'm ready to go (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) [Verse] You've got yourself things you wanted something for them You either get it or I guess you won't What does it really mean to get nothing from anyone There's a million ways it could go [Pre-Chorus] So tell me right now you think you're ready for it I wanna know why you got me going So let's go we'll take it out of here I think I'm ready to leave I'm ready to live [Chorus] I'm ready to go (Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind) I'm ready to go (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) [Interlude] x4 [Bridge] I think I'm ready I think I know I'm ready I know I think I'm ready I think I know I'm ready I know I think I'm ready I think I know I'm ready I know I think I'm ready I think I know I'm ready I know [Chorus] I'm ready to go (Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind) I'm ready to go (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) I'm ready to go (Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind) I'm ready to go (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) I'm ready to go (Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind) I'm ready to go (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) 7.

Dès le premier jour Ton parfum enivra mon amour Et dans ces instants J’aimerais être comme toi par moment Mais depuis ce jour Je n’ai qu’un seul et unique regret [Riff] [Verse] My wing tips waltz across naive, wood floors they creak, innocently down the stairs, drag melody, my percussive feet serve cobweb headaches as a, N.C. matching set of marching clocks, the slumbering apparitions that they've come to wake up, Here I am composing of burlesque, Out of where they rest their necks, Sunken in their splintered cradles And ramshackle ants, They asked for it, as a girl, N.C. You have set your heart on, N.C. Haunting me forever from the start, N.C. It's never silent, [Chorus] Ever since we met, I only shoot up with your perfume, It's the only thing, That makes me feel as good as you do, Ever since we met, I've got just one regret to live through, And that one regret is you, [Verse] How does a heart love, If no one has noticed its presence, And where does it go, Trembling hands play my heart like the drum, But the beat's gotten lost in the show, [Verse] N.C. You have set your heart on, N.C. Haunting me forever from the start, N.C. It's never silent, [Chorus] Ever since we met, I only shoot up with your perfume, It's the only thing, That makes me feel as good as you do, Ever since we met, I've got just one regret to live through, and I regret never letting you know, Ever since we met, I only shoot up with your perfume, It's the only thing, That makes me feel as good as you do, Ever since we met, I've got just one regret to live through, And that one regret is you, [Outro] Mona Lisa please to please ya (my one regret is you) Mona Lisa please to please ya (at that one regret is you) Mona Lisa please to please ya 11.
