Mayer John No Such Thing Lyrics

No Such Thing 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 want to run through the halls of my high school

I want to 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, maybe transfers

they read all the books but they can't find the answers

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 want to run through the halls of my high school

I want to 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 am invincible

I am invincible

I am invincible

as long as I'm alive



I want to run through the halls of my high school

I want to 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 for my ten 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
