"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."

Reshuffle.

"Throw me in a landfill; don't think about the consequences.
Throw me in the dirt pit; don't think about the choices that you make.
Throw me in the water; don't think about the splash I will create.
Leave me at the altar; knowing all the things you just escaped.

Push me out to sea; on a little boat that you made.
Out of the evergreen that you, helped your father cut away.
Leave me on the tracks; to wait until the morning train arrives.
Don't you dare look back, walk away... Catch up with the sunrise.

'Cause this is torturous electricity... Between both of us and this is
dangerous 'cause I want you so much. But I hate your guts;
I hate you.

So leave me in the cold; wait until the snow covers me up.
So I cannot move, so I'm just embedded in the frost.
Then leave me in the rain; wait until my clothes cling to my frame.
Wipe away your tear stains!
Thought you said you didn't feel pain..?

Well this is torturous electricity..
Between both of us and this is
Dangerous, 'cause I want you so much. But I hate your guts.

I want you so much. But I hate your guts.

Well this is torturous electricity... between both of us, And this is dangerous 'cause I want you so much. But I hate your guts..
I want you so much! But I hate your guts."
