Intro
(1a) "Welcome to the real world", she said to me
condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
(1b) 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
(2) They love to tell you
stay inside the lines
(3) But something's better
on the other side
(4) 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
(1a) 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
(1b) And all of our parents
they're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
while in their memories
tiny tragedies
(2) They love to tell you
stay inside the lines
(3) But something's better
on the other side
(4) 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
(5) I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
as long as I'm alive (2)
(4) 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
(4) I just can't wait till 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
Ends on (079890)

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 dream 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 and 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
I am invincible
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 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

Intro
(1a) "Welcome to the real world", she said to me
condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
(1b) 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
(2) They love to tell you
stay inside the lines
(3) But something's better
on the other side
(4) 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
(1a) 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
(1b) And all of our parents
they're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
while in their memories
tiny tragedies
(2) They love to tell you
stay inside the lines
(3) But something's better
on the other side
(4) 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
(5) I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
as long as I'm alive (2)
(4) 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
(4) I just can't wait till 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
