Daughter - Candles

candles – daughter
Am G C
( repeat this pattern for the whole song )

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 .
