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 got to rise above
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
