No Such Thing -- John Mayer -- Lyrics

No Such Thing -- John Mayer

Charted: 2002
Peaked at #13
From the album "Room For Squares"

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

Chorus:
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 the credits and making 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

Chorus

I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
As long as I'm alive

Chorus

I just can't wait 'til 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
