No Such Thing Lyrics

Send "No Such Thing" Ringtone to your Cell

"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 and
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

This song inspires me in so many ways, musically, and how to live life really.
And some people on here need to grow up, im not going to say anything cause i don't want to get caught up in this, so dont get me.
I'm just saying,some people need to not shove their foot in somebodys face, and point there nose where they dont belong. I shoudlnt be saying this cause i do that a lot. But, at least now im noticing it.

This song is so awesome! It is my theme song! You have to play this song on full blast with a group of friends- or by yourself in your room and go crazy dancing and singing!

They were thinking of playing this song at our graduation. Hopefully they still will, but not much chance of that knowing how our school is. Great song anyhow!

To all normal people with a heart, this song should be inspiring. Honestly, who hasnt wanted to be better than they are and flip someone the proverbial or literal (lol) bird and say take that, im not fooled by your lies i know who i am and what i want so there. I know i have and John Mayer says it perfectly in this song.

This isn't the "Post a Comment that scottydont153 Will Like" page. If you want to put how you feel about the song, or what it means to you, I hardly see what's wrong with that.
scottydont153 17/06/2004 00:54:52
ok guys i hate to be negative but unless someone asks what the song is about then don't answer because frankly no one cares what you think about the song or if you like it or not
Sugarman 20/04/2004 14:43:38
We should keep all negative thoughts to ourselves??? Dude, this isn't the Post A Good Comment page, it's Post A Comment. YOu can say whatever the hell you want.

John Mayer is a talented singer and song writer.
Elrond 21/02/2004 19:39:17
I used to think this John Mayer sux. Now I know he's fantastic and I'd love to meet him someday and hang out. He reminds me of my friends. He belongs with us.
Bogler 21/01/2004 06:03:31
Johnny Mayer has some dam good songs, musically and lyrically
johnmayerlixdix 09/01/2004 17:43:57
if john mayer were an ass, he would have my dick in him at all times. he sucks in case you didn't notice. and for all of you who are interested, he also swallows...gallons. this song makes me want to take a spoon and make john-schfincter-lickin-mayer eat his smelly brown eye. good day
aznmissy 01/01/2004 23:33:30
this song.. "no such thing" it inspires me.. something bout hiz soft voice.. brings out his image.. his vintage t-shirts and courduroy pants.. his tousseled hair.. his carefree eyes.. no im not fourteen.. im actually also a senior.. and after trying to seriously concentrate on studying.. i forgot to take it ez.. i dun care too much of wat u negative pplz say about john mayer.. he's an amazing artist.. u can hate all you want.. its your opinion.. but among the other people who've responded.. i agree with them.. if u dun have nething good to say.. dont' say it.. jus cuz u have personal issues.. doestn' mean other people will care about you or what u have to b** about.. newayz.. the message of the song.. yea.. speaks for itself.. "they love to tell you 'stay inside the lines' but somethings better on the other side.." n i like the part.. "they read all the textbooks but can't find the answers" .. after being miserable.. feelin liek the world is unfair.. n now discovering that i could fall asleep everynight to his songs.. im happier now.. more at ease with the world..

To all the people who say negative stuff about this song-
All the people saying this music is bad should keep their opinion to their selves. If you don’t like it that’s your choice but don’t be saying crap to other people if they do. They aren’t going to care what u say! your someone they don’t know and will never meet so do u really think that someone will change the way they feel about a song because of what u say? You don’t need to say the shit you do. So next time your looking to say bad stuff about someone, don’t!! because no1 is going to care and just because u feel the music sucks doesn’t mean other people have to! Get a life and post things about the music u do like. Why are you even looking up lyrics to a song u don’t like? I have to say that’s really stupid. You should be looking up the lyrics to songs you do like and post good stuff about it, and then when you read the bad stuff about the music you like you will know how the rest of us feel, all you do is piss people off here maybe thats what you want to do, but its not gonna get you any where. It’s really annoying that someone would have so much effort just to say one stupid thing about the music, because no1 will change their opinion you’re just going to piss off the fans, other then that no one is going to fucking care what you say!! so like I said before, get a life and leave the rest of us alone! I like this song and I’m not going to change my opinion because of what anyone says. all your doing is making all the people who agree with me gang up on you. There’s more people who like his music posting here then don’t so keep your opinion to your self! Other wise many people will continue saying stuff like this to you. Even if i didn't like John Mayer's music i would still be saying this to you because i wouldn't post stuff about how much it sucks i would probably ask people why they like it so maybe i could see what they like about him and then maybe like his music but i wouldn't be saying like "how can you people like this?" i wouldn;t say that cuz its their oppinion and yes its your oppinion to not like him but keep it to yourself or find someone who agree with you to talk about it. So please get a life and do something better with your time then saying pointless shit!

Ty Smith 2~~ I am 14 and i'm not love sick!! and i like the song... so stop sayin the shit!! thankz... peace 'n love
MissMayer 30/11/2003 05:02:21
As a senior in high school, I can definitely relate to this song. I wish more people would understand that high school is only four very insignificant years of your life. I can't stand being stuck in that building any longer, and I certainly would love to run through the halls of my high school and scream at the top of my lungs. Because it completely sucks ass. So children, just remember, there is a great life waiting for you out there. Have a nice day.
tastyhamsandwich 20/11/2003 04:02:09
I agree... Ty Smith, why do you waste your time making flaming posts that long behind the mask of intelligence? Don't you have anything better to do?
Hardy_gurl 19/10/2003 21:48:18
Ty Smith 2 what is your friggin' problem? I am 17 and I like these lyrics. My brother who is 19 also enjoys them, so I think you just have some jealousy thing because you know you will never be as good as John Mayer. Bye asshole!
potato boy 02/10/2003 03:02:13
wow! this song is amazing! i saw john mayer in concert two nights ago when he was in australia and he rocked! it went off! he is such a good performer and entertainer! this is still my favourite song of his...
LooneyJulie 10/09/2003 15:43:11
Hey every1. I printed off these lyrics a couple of days ago and i was readin all of the comments at the bottom. Can i just ask one question? if you don't fukin like john mayer. then why da fuk do u come 2 his lyrics? u people r sad dumbasses who ain't got nothin beta 2 do with ur damn pointless lives, and 2 da girl who frm england who thinks GCSE's r everythin, well honey they're not. I'm in 6th form college + school can neva prepare u 4 college. Don't listen 2 teachers who say that your life depends on those exams or else u will seriously continuously eat yourself away, which is why john mayer's cool coz he has all of this in his song. He's not tellin you not to bother with working, he's just saying not 2 work yourself into the ground. xxx

xtina - You are 14.....Enjoy your adolescence!
:-) Remember though, you are a spiritual conscience existing in a human body. EVERY MOMENT IS A CHOICE.

Ty Smith (All incarnations) As you judge others, you judge yourself. Look in the mirror buddy! :-)

Everybody else.......Make the best of every momemnt. That is the message of this song.
Xtina 26/07/2003 15:02:41
This is a gr8 song - but i have to say i think u should "stay inside the lines" and take the right track.
i'm 14 from the UK and never got into trouble @ school, EVER. i'm coming up to my GCSE'S and work really really hard to acheive the very best.
i'm not gonna mess around and ruin every chance i've got.
the way i see it is that my GCSE'S r the key to my future and if i screw them up, well frankly i've messed up my whole life.
i don't mean to say that that is what the song is saying.......i'm not actually totally sure what it means, i'm only a kid,
but hey.....thought i'd post this anyway.
Buffy 12/07/2003 05:50:40
This is one of my favorite songs. I wish I would have heard John sing these words way back when I graduated! :)
Quirky 17/06/2003 21:56:26
I loved this from the first time I heard it, I'm not 14 anymore and I consider myself fairly intelligent. I belive that you don't get anywere being negative, sure critisims is always good... as long as it's constructive... you know, usefull.
When I hear this song my mood changes from good to better, okay it's not espacially deep or profound... But it's got that "I love just being alive" vibe. I can relate, things are expected of you when you're in school, you gotta make something of yourself. And maybe no one believes in you, but you're gonna prove them wrong... someday you'll show them. That's the feeling I had leaving school... Now though I couldn't care less what anybody thinks, but being a teenager can be harsh, beyond not-understanding parents. Some have it easy, others.. not so much.

Sometimes there's no need to be deep, truth can be spoken in few well selected words.

All times are in Greenwich Mean Time.
The time is now 23:46:28.
