Half

 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

 she told me that she never would face the world again

 so i offered up my 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 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.

the rest of our lives.

 because 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

 no, 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

 'cause these are the things that we can't deny now

 this is a life that you can't deny us now
