What Can I Do If the Fire Goes Out?

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

Written by：David Le'aupepe

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
