You

can't

feel

the

heat

un-

til

you

hold

your

hand

o-

ver

the

flame

You

have

to

cross

the

line

just

to

re-

mem-

ber

where

it

lays

You

won't

know

your

worth

now,

son,

un-

til

you

take

a

hit

And

you

won't

find

the

beat

un-

til

you

lose

your-

self

in

it

That's

why

we

won't

back

down

We

won't

run

and

hide

'Cause

these

are

the

things

that

we

can't

de-

ny

I'm

pass-

ing

o-

ver

you

like

a

sa-

tel-

lite

So

ca-

tch

me

if

I

fall

That's

why

you

stick

to

your

game

plans

and

par-

ty

lives

But

at

night

we're

cons-

pi-

ring

by

can-

dle-

light

We

are

the

or-

phans

of

the

A-

me-

ri-

can

dreams

Oh

shine

your

light

on

me

You

can't

fill

your

cup

un-

til

you

emp-

ty

all

it

has

You

can't

un-

der-

stand

what

lays

a-

head

If

you

don't

un-

der-

stand

the

past

You'll

ne-

ver

le-

arn

the

fun

now

Till

you're

stan-

ding

at

the

cliff

And

you

cant

tru-

ly

love

un-

til

you've

gi-

ven

up

on

it

That's

why

we

won't

back

down

We

won't

run

and

'Cause

these

are

the

that

we

Oh

She

told

me

that

she

ne-

ver

would

face

the

world

a-

ga-

in

So

I

of-

fer

up

a

plan

We'll

sneak

out

when

they

sleep

And

sail

off

in

the

night

We'll

come

clean

and

start

o-

ver

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

Out

It's

We

have

the

The

rest

of

our

That's

why

we

won't

We

won't

Cause

these

are

the

we

can't

I'm
