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! 'cause 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 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
til you're standing at the cliff
and you can't truly love until you've given up on it
that's why we won't back down
we won't run and hide
yeah! 'cause 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 dream
so shine your light on me

out of sight, out of mind.
it's not too late,
we have the rest of our lives.
