Satellite Songtext / Lyric

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 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 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

Till 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 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 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



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 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 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 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 now
