"No Such Thing"
.
"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, 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've got to rise above .
I am invincible .
I am invincible .
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 .
