Your Fire Your Soul
[Verse 1]
Button up that shirt you're supposed to wear
Don't forget your airline ticket or to brush your hair
Show that family that you care
But could you wear something that celebrates
Everything you love, and maybe what your family hates
'Cause that might be what it takes

[Chorus]
'Cause that's your fire, that's your soul
You shouldn't have to go
That's your fire, that's your soul
You shouldn't have to go

[Verse 2]
The first thing they say is take off your shoes
And they'll say they want your story, but they get confused
By all those words you use
A year ago your car went off a cliff
And you saw an angel in midair who said you'd live
Well, that's a story you can give

[Chorus]
'Cause that's your fire, that's your soul
You shouldn't have to go
That's your fire, that's your soul
You shouldn't have to go
[Bridge]
And they say you're family, you belong to us
You can stay at home and have our love and trust
But any day now one of us could die
If we make you suffer don't you want to find out why?
'Cause we love to watch you try
With your fire, your soul, your soul
It's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire
(It's your fire, it's your fire)

[Verse 3]
Then you'll fly home and get the flu
And you'll keep staring at the ground, you always do
When they get their time with you
You are not a punching bag, my dear
I think your darkest day should have some light this year
Oh I think you should stay right here

[Chorus]
With your fire and your soul
You shouldn't have to go
That's your fire, that's your soul
You shouldn't have to go
That's your fire, that's your soul
You shouldn't have to go
[Outro]
That's your fire, that's your soul
(It's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire)
