Lyrics

Button up that shirt you're s'posed to wear
Don't forget your airline ticket or to brush your hair
Show that family that you care

Could you wear something that celebrates
Everything you love and maybe what your family hates
Cause that might be what it takes

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

First thing they say's "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

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

And they say "you're family, you belong to us
You can stay at home and have our love and trust
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

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 days should have some light this year
Oh I think you should stay right here

With your fire and your soul you shouldn't have to go
It'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
That's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire
