Candles by Daughter

Boy, take me away, into the night

Out of the hum of the street lights and into a forest

I'll do whatever you say to me in the dark

Scared I'll be torn apart by a wolf in mask of a familiar name on a birthday card

Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles

"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night

It's just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence

Wide-eyed, both in silence

Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene

Well I have brittle bones it seems

I bite my tongue and I torch my dreams

Have a little voice to speak with

But a mind of thoughts and secrecy

Things cannot be reversed, we learn from the times that we are cursed

Things cannot be reversed, learn from the ones we fear the worst

And learn from the ones we hate the most

Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles

"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night

It's just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence   

Wide-eyed, both in silence

Wide-eyed                                                                                                 

 Cause we both know I'll never be your lover

I only bring the heat

Company under cover

Filling space in your sheets

Well I'll never be a lover

I only bring the heat

Company under cover

Filling space in your sheets, in your sheets

So, please just blow out all the candles,

"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night

It's just a young heart confusing my mind, and we're both in silence

Wide-eyed, both in silence

Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene.
