"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
