By John Mayer

"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 sleevethey 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 tragediesthey 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 additional lyrics and intro/outro
Good luck finding me in that year book

I'm not pictured

I had better things to do on that day

And don't you bother playing back that graduation tape

Cus I tool my cap and gown away

No you want find me any way but here

No theres no such thing as the so called glory years
Baby,
I'm not always there when you call

But
I'm always on time

And I gave you my all

Now baby be mine
