Why Should the Fire Die? Lyrics
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
It might be 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
My mom and dad kept theirs alive
It's early yet, don't say goodnight
I know in time you'll be all right
Saying I won't figure you out
It might be true, but let me try
And try and try for the rest of my life
I'm not scared of being alone, being alone
Beside the fire, as long as it's with you
My mom and dad kept theirs alive
It's getting late, she says goodnight
I fall asleep, I'll be all right

I love this song partly because of this:
I'm not scared of being alone I'm just happier being confused Beside the fire, as long as it's with you
I love the implication that its not the "being alone" part that is scary, he's okay with being alone...that's not the point. He just wants to be with this person, its better to be with this person. I think too many people stay in relationships or start relationships only because they're afraid of being alone. I think that is a terrible reason to be with someone, especially because in actuality we are always alone and we should be happy enough with ourselves to be okay with being alone. Also I just love that he's willing to try to keep figuring out the person he's with and not give up so easily on the relationship (another problem with our world today).
"I'm just happier being confused, beside the fire, as long as it's with you" definitley my favorite lines from this song... it's really a smooth song. And i love the "mom and dad kept theirs alive" most of this song just speaks to me.
