| 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
|
| Yeah, because 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 lives
|
| But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
|
| 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 until you're standing at the cliff
|
| 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, because 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 lives
|
| But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
|
| We are the orphans of the American Dream
|
| So shine your light on me
|
| She told me she that she'd never 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 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 in the night (we have the rest of our lives)
|
| 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 (we have the rest of our lives)
|
| It's not too late, 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, because 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 lives
|
| But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
|
| We are the orphans of the American Dream
|
| So shine your light on me (shine your light on me)
|
| No we won't back down
|
| We won't run and hide
|
| Yeah, because these are the things that we can't deny (shine your light on me)
|
| I'm passing over you like a satellite
|
| 'cause these are the things that we can't deny, no
|
| This is a life that you can't deny us now |
