John Mayer - No such thing - live in birmingham lyrics

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me Condescendingly "Take a seat, take your life Plot it out in black and white" Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings And the drama queens I'd like to think the best of me Is still hiding up my sleeve They love to tell you "stay inside the lines" But something's better on the other side I wanna run through the halls of my high school I wanna scream at the top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing As the real world Just a lie you've got to rise above So the good boys and girls take The so called right track Faded white hats Grabbing credits, and maybe transfers They read all the books but they can't Find the answers And all of our parents They're getting older I wonder if they've wished for anything better While in their memories Tiny tragedies They love to tell you "stay inside the lines" But something's better on the other side I wanna run through the halls of my high school I wanna scream at the Top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing As the real world Just a lie you got to rise above I am invincible as long as I'm alive I wanna run through the halls of my high school I wanna scream at the top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing As the real world Just a lie you've got to rise above I just can't wait 'til my 10 year reunion I'm gonna bust down the double doors And when I stand on these tables before you You will know what all this time was for
