Lyrics

When I was eighteen everything was alive
Then the planes hit the towers
Then she died, then he died

A part of me disappeared six feet in the ground
Million miles in the sky a fire burns
A fire burns, a fire burns and it is mine

And I did what I did, what we did to survive
Five whole years of my life I spent mourning you
And why? Girl, you're still alive

You're too dead to keep inside
You take the years, you keep it all
I finally think I might be alright

So let's just let it all go? cause nothing can change
And if something is lost then there's something to frame
I just sing what I have

All I got this girl, not yet crushed by the world
I'll count the freckles on her face
One, two, three hundred times a day

And sing a new song, something I'd never hear
It's better love that I found
Bigger love that you fear

So deep inside me, hot in this frozen cave
Her fire burns, her fire burns
Her fire burns and it is brave

When I was eighteen everything was alive
Then the planes hit the towers
Then she died, then he died

A part of me disappeared six feet in the ground
Million miles in the sky a fire burns
A fire burns and I just let it all go

And I won't fear change
And if something is lost then there's something to frame
I'll just sing what I have

In the heavens above
In the song, in the sky a fire burns
A fire burns, a fire burns and it's for you
