You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame
You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays
You won't know your worth now son, until you take a hit
And you won't find the beat, until you lose yourself in itThat's why we won't back down we won't run and hide
Yeah 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fallThat's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on meYou can't fill your cup, until you empty all it has
You can't understand, what lays ahead
If you don't understand the past
You'll never learn to fly now 'til you're standing at the cliff
And you can't truly love, until you've given up on itThat's why we won't back down we won't run and hide
Yeah 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fallThat's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So, shine your light on meShe told me that she never, could face the world again
So I offered up a planWe'll sneak out, while they sleep, and sail off in the night
We'll come clean, and start over, the rest of our lives
When we're gone, we'll stay gone, out of sight, out of mind
It's not too late, we have the rest of our livesWe'll sneak out, while they sleep, and stay lost into the night
We'll come clean, and start over, we have the rest of our lives
When we're gone, we'll stay gone, out of sight, out of mind
It's not too late, we have the rest of our lives
The rest of our livesBecause we won't back down we won't run and hide
Yeah 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fallThat's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So, shine your light on meNo we won't back down, we won't run and hide
Yeah 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
'Cause these are the things that we can't deny nowThis is a life that you can't deny us now
