You can't feel the heat, until you hold your hand over the flame
You have to cross the line just to rememeber 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 it

That'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 fall

That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candle light
We are the orphans of the american dream
So shine your light on me

You 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 it

That'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 fall

That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candle light
We are the orphans of the american dream
So shine your light on me

She told me that she never
Could face the world again,
So i offered up a plan

We'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 were gone we'll stay gone, out of sight out of mind
It's not too late we have the rest of our lives

We'll sneak out while they sleep and sail off in the night (we have the rest of our lives)
We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives (we have the rest of our lives)
When we're gone we'll stay gone out of sight out of mind (we have the rest of our lives)
It's not too late we have the rest of our lives (we have the rest of our lives)
The rest of our lives

Because we won't back down, we won't run and hide
Yeah cause these are things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if i fall

That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candle light
We are the orphans of the american dream
So shine your light on me

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 now
This is a life that you can't deny us now
