When I was eighteen everything was alive

Then the planes hit the towers

Then she died, then he died

A part of my 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

And 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 my 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
