"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

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 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
