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
Chorus: That's why 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 lives But at night we're conspiring in 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 now Until you're standing at the cliff And you can't truly love until you've given up on it
Chorus: That's why 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 lives But at night we're conspiring in by candlelight We are the orphans of the American 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 (all x2) The rest of our lives
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 lives But at night we're conspiring in by candlelight We are the orphans of the American dream So shine your light 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 nowTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
