Ok, so my music jag is still on. I have been really, really digging this<\/p>\n

John<\/p>\n

Mayer<\/a> thing, so much so that I think I’ll waste some of your time here \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’ve included the full lyrics to this song here (you might have to take a ‘more’<\/p>\n

link) but for the moment I will pull a quote or two..<\/p>\n

\n

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me<\/p>\n

Condescendingly<\/p>\n

Take a seat<\/p>\n

Take your life<\/p>\n

Plot it out in black and white<\/p>\n

Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings<\/p>\n

And the drama queens<\/p>\n

I’d like to think the best of me<\/p>\n

Is still hiding<\/p>\n

Up my sleeve"<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I know, it’s pop music and to many of you that pretty much means it can’t be<\/p>\n

deep. So fine, it’s not deep. But I’m not a deep person… that lyric just says<\/p>\n

a lot of how my world is.<\/p>\n

As for the future… well it’s been longer than this .. but here you go..<\/p>\n

\n
\n

"I just can’t wait til my 10 year reunion<\/p>\n

I’m gonna bust down the double doors<\/p>\n

And when I stand on these tables before you<\/p>\n

You will know what all this time was for"<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Anyway… here’s the whole thing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n

NO SUCH THING<\/b> –<\/p>\n

John<\/p>\n

Mayer<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me<\/p>\n

Condescendingly<\/p>\n

Take a seat<\/p>\n

Take your life<\/p>\n

Plot it out in black and white<\/p>\n

Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings<\/p>\n

And the drama queens<\/p>\n

I’d like to think the best of me<\/p>\n

Is still hiding<\/p>\n

Up my sleeve<\/i><\/p>\n

They love to tell you<\/p>\n

Stay inside the lines<\/p>\n

But something’s better<\/p>\n

On the other side<\/i><\/p>\n

I wanna run through the halls of my high school<\/p>\n

I wanna scream at the<\/p>\n

Top of my lungs<\/p>\n

I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world<\/p>\n

Just a lie you’ve got to rise above<\/i><\/p>\n

So the good boys and girls take the so called right track<\/p>\n

Faded white hats<\/p>\n

Grabbing credits<\/p>\n

Maybe transfers<\/p>\n

They read all the books but they can’t find the answers<\/p>\n

And all of our parents<\/p>\n

They’re getting older<\/p>\n

I wonder if they’ve wished for anything better<\/p>\n

While in their memories<\/p>\n

Tiny tragedies<\/i><\/p>\n

They love to tell you<\/p>\n

Stay inside the lines<\/p>\n

But something’s better<\/p>\n

On the other side<\/i><\/p>\n

I wanna run through the halls of my high school<\/p>\n

I wanna scream at the<\/p>\n

Top of my lungs<\/p>\n

I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world<\/p>\n

Just a lie you got to rise above<\/i><\/p>\n

I am invincible<\/p>\n

As long as I’m alive<\/i><\/p>\n

I wanna run through the halls of my high school<\/p>\n

I wanna scream at the<\/p>\n

Top of my lungs<\/p>\n

I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world<\/p>\n

Just a lie you’ve got to rise above<\/i><\/p>\n

I just can’t wait til my 10 year reunion<\/p>\n

I’m gonna bust down the double doors<\/p>\n

And when I stand on these tables before you<\/p>\n
