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 cuz 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 perspiring 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 your lit house You can't understand what lays ahead If you don't understand the past You'll never learn the fun now Til you're standing at the gate And you can't truly love until youve given up on it
That's why we won't back down We won't run and hide Yeah cuz 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 perspiring by candlelight We are the orphans of the american dreams Oh shine your light on me
She told me that she never would face the world again So I offer up my hand 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 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 lives The rest of our lives
Because we won't back down We won't run and hide Yeah cuz 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 perspiring 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 cuz these are the things we can't deny I'm passing over you like a satellite Cuz these are the things that we can't deny now This is a life that you can't deny us now
