You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flames
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
you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it
We won't back down we won't run and hide
because these are the things that we can't deny
i'm passing over you like a satellite
so catch me if i fall
we stick to you game plans and party lines
but at night we're conspiring by candlelight
we are the orphans of the Amerikan 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 now until you're
standing at the cliff
and you can't truly love until you've given up on it
We won't back down we won't run and hide
because these are the things that we can't deny
i'm passing over you like a satellite
so catch me if i fall
we stick to you game plans and party lines
but at night we're conspiring by candlelight
we are the orphans of the Amerikan dream
so shine your light on me
She told me that she never
could 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

because these are the things that we can't deny
i'm passing over you like a satellite
so catch me if i fall
we stick to you game plans and party lines
but at night we're conspiring by candlelight
we are the orphans of the Amerikan dream
so shine your light on me
BECAUSE THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE CAN'T DENY NOW
THIS IS A LIFE THAT YOU CAN'T DENY US NOW
