Room for Squares

"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
