Candles

	  		
(Am G C) 



That 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  
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 torch my dreams  
Have a little voice to speak with  
And a mind of thoughts and secrecy  
Things cannot be reversed, we learn from the times we are cursed  
Things cannot be reversed, learn from the ones we fear the worst  
And learn from the ones we hate the most how to  

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  
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, 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.
