When I was eighteen everything was alive
Then the planes hit the towers
Then she died, then he diedA 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 mineAnd 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 aliveYou're too dead to keep inside
You take the years, you keep it all
I finally think I might be alrightSo 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 haveAll I got this girl, not yet crushed by the world
I'll count the freckles on her face
One, two, three hundred times a dayAnd sing a new song, something I'd never hear
It's better love that I found
Bigger love that you fearSo deep inside me, hot in this frozen cave
Her fire burns, her fire burns
Her fire burns and it is braveWhen I was eighteen everything was alive
Then the planes hit the towers
Then she died, then he diedA 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 goAnd I won't fear change
And if something is lost then there's something to frame
I'll just sing what I haveIn the heavens above
In the song, in the sky a fire burns
A fire burns, a fire burns and it's for you
