No Such Thing (Extended Live Version) Lyrics Artist(Band):John Mayer
Mom asks "What do you want to do when you get out of here?" I said, "Well, gee, I'm only 13, but I think I'd like to play my guitar... be a star." "Well," she said, "that's NICE, you got time to go. Good sense will kick in anytime, you know. I'm not worried, I'm not worried." Sophomore year, she asked the same old thing, my answer had remained unchanged. I saw her fidget with her thumbs. She said, "You like computers, John, you like computers, don't you? Yeah, I USED TO always see you with a computer... you like computers maybe you could do something with computers. Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?" Junior year, It's a little more intense, She says, "What do you want to do with your life?" I'm not on the fence, I know exactly what I AM to be, and I'm only 17. She said, "Well, all I ask, is that you pay attention in class, so if you happen to change your mind in time, you can still go somewhere reputable... do us proud." So I went downstairs, and I played guitar loud. Yeah, senior year, Same old question, She said, "What do you want to do?" I said, "Play my guitar and sing." BUT She said, "There's no such thing." She said, "There's no such thing..." (GUITAR SOLO) (speaking: I love you Mom) "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 hats Grabbing credits and made their transfers they listen to phish, 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 Well, well 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.. You are invincible.. (yeah you are) We are invincible.. As long as we're alive Do I have to tell the story of a thousand rainy days since we first met? It's a big enough umbrella but it's always me that ends up getting wet. 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 If you find some error in No Such Thing (Extended Live Version) Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?
