Conan Gray
Candles - Daughter
[Verse 1]
That boy, take me away, into the night
Out of the hum of the street lights and into the forest
I'll do whatever you say to me in the dark
Scared I'll be torn apart by a wolf in a mask of a familiar name on a birthday card
[Chorus]
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 confusin' my mind, and we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene
[Verse 2]
Well I have brittle bones it seems
I bite my tongue and torch my dreams
I've got a little voice to speak with
And a mind of thoughts and secrecy
And things cannot be reversed, we learn from the times we are cursed
Things cannot be reversed, we learn from the ones we fear the worst
And learn from the ones we hate the most how to
[Chorus]
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 confusin' my mind, and we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, we're both in silence
Wide-eyed
[Bridge]
'Cause we both know I'll never be your lover
I only bring the heat
Company under covers
Fillin' space in your sheets
And I'll never be your lover
I only bring the heat
Company under covers
Fillin' space in your sheets, in your sheets, oh
[Chorus]
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
Just a young heart confusin' my mind, and we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene
