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

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 we 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

Til you're standing at the cliff

And you can't truly love until you've given up on it



She told me that she never would 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 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 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 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 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
