Satellite lyrics

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 cuz 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 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

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 cuz 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 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.

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

The rest of our lives

Because we won't back down

We won't run and hide

Yeah cuz 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 lines

But at night we're conspiring by candlelight

We are the orphans of the Amerikan Dream

So shine your light on me (shine your light on me)

No we won't back down

We won't run and hide

Yeah cuz these are the things that we can't deny (shine your light on me)

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
