No Such Thing…

You know how some songs just speak to you because they seem to be written about your current situation/mindset?

No Such Thing
John Mayer

“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

I love that song! Congrats on the weight loss and may it continue! I’m back on track as of Monday. Wish I never fell off the wagon, but you inspire me to climb back on.
