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 it That's why we won't back down We won't run and hide 'Cause these are the things we can't deny I'm passing over you like a satellite So catch me if I fall That's why you stick to your game plans and party lives But at night we're conspiring by candlelight We are the orphans of the American dreams Oh 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 the fun now Till you're standing at the cliff And you cant truly love until you've given up on it She told me that she never would face the world again So I offer up a plan We'll sneak out when 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 lives We'll sneak out while they sleep And sail off into the night We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives Out of sight, out of mind It's not too late We have the rest of our lives 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 the things we can't deny I'm passing over you like a satellite So catch me if I fall That's why you stick to your game plans and party lives But at night we're conspiring by candlelight We are the orphans of the American dreams Oh shine your light on me Because we won't back down We won't run and hide Yeah 'cause these are the things 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
