When i was eighteen everything was alive

Then the planes hit the towers 

Then she died and he died

A part of me disappeared six feet in the ground

A 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

But you're too dead to keep inside

You take the years, you keep it all, i finally think i might be alright



So lets 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

Ill count the freckles on her face one, two, three hundred times a day



And sing a new song

Something i'd never here

Its 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

A million miles in the sky a fire burns, 

A fire burns, and i just let it all go



I wont fear change

And if something is lost then there is something to frame

Ill 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 its for you
