Lyrics No Such Thing - Live in Ohio - John Mayer

"Welcome to the real world," she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat, take your life and
Plot it out in black and white
Well, I never lived the dream of the prom kings
and the drama queens, I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding up my sleeve
I 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 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 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 wish for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies
They love to tell you, stay inside the lines
Well, something's better on the other side
I wanna run through the halls in 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
(Come on, come on, come on)
I am invincible
You are invincible
We are invincible
As long as we're alive
I wanna run through the hall in 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 'till my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on the tables before you
You will know what all this time was for
