What Can I Do If the Fire Goes Out? Songtext
von Gang of Youths

This is the sound of a soul in tune
To the selfish desire for a soul mate who
It′s a selfish desire for a soul untamed
That definitive cry in the present age

Do I throw my clothes in the fire?
Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me compliant?
Can you still show me a way?
Can you still show me a life?
'Cause I was only a kid
When I felt you tossed me aside, hey

What can I do if the fire goes out?


′Cause I don't know if I can live without

I want a taste to see if the Lord is good
I want to know if I'm hurt and if I′m understood
See if the selfish desire′s some stupid thing
Or if heaven desires something deep within

Do I throw my clothes in the fire?
Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me alive?
Can you still show me a way?
Can you still show me a life?
'Cause I was only a kid
When I felt you left me behind, oh

What can I do if the fire goes out?


′Cause I don't know if I can live without
