why should the fire die?

Singer:nickel creek

why should the fire die

my mom and dad kept theirs alive

it's early yet

don't say goodnight

i know in time you'll be all right

you're shining still behind the clouds

saying i won't figure you out

i like it true

but let me try

and try and try for the rest of my life

i'm not scared of being alone

i'm not scared of being alone

being alone

i'm just happier being confused

beside the fire

as long as it's with you

why should the fire die

my mom and dad kept theirs alive

it's getting late

she says goodnight

i fall asleep

i'll be all right
