No Such Thing Lyrics
Artist(Band):John Mayer
Review The Song (61)Print the Lyrics
"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
That 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 (x3)
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

Review about No Such Thing

I love this song! (: | Reviewer: JD | 11/17/09

I first heard that song when I was really little. Back then, I had no idea what the song was really talking about. I just knew that the guy singing it would always yell that he wanted to run down the halls of his high school and scream at the top of his lungs. I thought that was hilarious. I didn't hear it for a long time after that but just recently (yesterday, in fact) on my birthday just as I was getting in my car, this song came on. I really listened to the lyrics as the song played and they really speak to me. As a student, there is always so much pressure to perform well on tests. This is a great song that just tells you to rise above the real world, so full heartbreak and think of other, more important things. I just love this!



What real world? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/3/09

This is perhaps my favorite song ever. I heard this song at such a young age, and then, I loved it because I loved the tune of it. So when I was feeling a little nostalgic a year or two ago, I revisited old songs and shows I listened to and watched in the early 2000's, and came across this masterpiece of masterpieces, "No Such Thing." Me, naturally being older, would listen to the lyrics because I knew I loved the song when I was younger and wanted to know exactly what I was listening to.

I was inspired.

This song was one of the things that taught me how to open up and just have a good time! Lighten up, there is no such thing as a real world! As a high school student, I feel privileged to listen to this kind of music, as opposed to a lot of the mainstream stuff out there now! Reality is different for everyone, so live yours to the fullest, because there's no such thing as a real world!

I can't even begin to explain the impact John Mayer has had in my life. Not just this song, but any Room for Squares song and more.



No, there is not such thing as a real world. :) | Reviewer: TaCo | 7/1/09

All through middle school, the world just seemed like torchure. Then I hit highschool and it was still bad. Then in second semester of my freshmen year, I made same interesting friends. And it was they that helped me realize that no one is normal. Nothing is real. I din't quite understand at first, it all seemed wrong to me, having grown up with a father to whom everyone thats not just like him is wrong. Off. This song helped explain things a bit. And boy, has life gotten a heck of alot more fun. :D



Thank you John! :) | Reviewer: Jordan | 6/17/09

I am a high school student who really spends too much time worrying about school. I've always strived to be 100% in everything, which gets really stressful. I am the typical "Straight A" good girl. Trust me,it's a really hard to role to play ALL the time. I love this song because it reminds me to just lighten up and have fun! School's not the most important thing in life. While most people in my high school are listening to meaningless junk, I love having the secret of John Mayer. He really speaks volumes through his lyrics! :)



An inspiration | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/28/09

For the longest time I've never known what to do with my life. It seems like I've been coasting through my entire life. I was 9 when I first heard this song and at that time it didn't mean too much to me. I'm currently a 17 year old dropout and I just heard this song for the first time in 8 years. It made me realize that I have the potential to be anything I wanna be, I can do anything I wanna do. So long as I'm doing what I love and I'm happy.



no such thing as the real world | Reviewer: j7k | 3/24/09

i just heard it again a few days ago and regret why i never hear this song during my high school years
my high school was so boring that i just came to school to sleep and eat,,,
if i had heard this song back then i would really run through the halls of my high school and scream at the top of my lungs,,,
hope this song could boost up my spirit in college

i like the words "there's no such thing as the real world"
it makes me think not to live my life so hard since i only have a short life, just enjoy it in my own way

life is a dance floor and God is the DJ



great song | Reviewer: too much stress | 3/12/09

i like this song because it goes against basically everything that my parents always say:"your education is the most important thing in your life. you have to do this and that to become successful. blah blah blah." the song, to me, is basically saying think outside the box. falling in line with everybody else is not always the best way to go.



love this much!! | Reviewer: schoolers | 3/4/09

john mayer can make everything which is usual become unusual!!
before i've heard this song, i relly feel terrible on school, bcos i felt that high school is not such as the best part of the life that everybody told me.
but after i hear this, i dont want waste my time to make my high school life usefull
i love to be a high school student and all happen in that
like john mayer so much!!



Still hiding up my sleeve.. | Reviewer: College | 2/1/09

To me, this song is about the celebration of life. Everyone, no matter your race, color, or creed, we all love a visionary. Someone with a dream. John Mayers touches on that in this song, that following a dream is worth more for the soul than money is for your pocket.

I am currently a 23 year old College student who is not excited about the idea of school. However, I am excited of what this will do for my dreams!!



Not at all cliche | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/27/08

Thank you Mayer, for that original, and in no way cliched message. The sheer profundity simply blows my mind. I am simply blinded by his insight. To think all I had to do was "be myself" and "follow my dreams". That man is a visionary genius
