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 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 go back
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 plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelights
We are the orphans of the american dream
so shine your lights on me

She told me that she never
could face the world again
so I offered up a plan:

"We'll sneack out, while they sleep
and sail off in the night
we'll come clean and start over
the rest of our lifes
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 lifes"

2X

Because 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 candlelights
We are the orphans of the american dream
so shine your lights 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
