Satellite lyrics

Songwriters: Timothy Mc Ilrath;Zachariah Joaquin Blair;Joseph Daniel Principe;Brandon Barnes

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 lives

But at night we're perspiring by candlelight

We are the orphans of the American dreams

Oh, 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 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 perspiring by candlelight

We are the orphans of the American dreams

Oh, shine your light on me

She told me that she never would face the world again

So I offered up my hand

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 into the night

We'll come clean and start over, we have 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 lives

But at night we're perspiring by candlelight

We are the orphans of the American dreams

Oh, shine your light on me

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

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

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