Daughter - Candles lyrics

rate me

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 I 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 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 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
