Rise Against - 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, because 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 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 until
You're standing at the cliff
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, because 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 conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American Dream
So shine your light on me

She told me she that she'd
Never 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 have the rest of our lives)
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
(we have the rest of our lives)
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, because 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 conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American 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, because these are the things
That we can't deny (shine your light on me)
I'm passing over you like a satellite
'cause these are the things
That we can't deny, no
This is a life that you can't deny us now
