      B            F#             E
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

Chorus:
G#m                        F#
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

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 confusing my mind,
but we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed

B                    G#m       F#       B
'Cause we both know I'll never be your lover
I only bring the heat
Company under covers
Filling space in your sheets

Well I'll never be a lover
I only bring the heat
Company under covers
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
