Like when I have my morning bath The shower in my hand I�d sing whatever�s on my mind Sometimes just a verse or two Sometimes an entire song, humming The parts I barely know And I�d stay there an hour if I didn�t have school to go
Or when I hold a pencil And I'm tapping it during class You�d think that I�m just bored but I�m practising my drumming beats One, two, now with the left! My foot joins in the rhythm While others listen to Newton�s Laws I�m making music in my head
Or when I�m sweeping the floor; I guess You could imagine what�s next I�d be jamming to a rousing audience Sweeping them off their feet I�ve got the right stance, I�ve got the technique I�ve got just what it takes It doesn�t even matter that The sound�s coming out from my mouth
I wanted to be in a band
But now I�m too old Too late,
Too bad.
I�ve put my dream aside And faced up to the world It�s just far too cruel a place To live with your head in the clouds
But still I can�t help but hum sometimes And walk with a spring in my step �Cos with every heartbeat that I feel I hear a tune in my head
The ringing of a bell The chirping of crickets The honking of cars in a traffic jam The screeching of tyres Loud footsteps of a runner Soft ones of two lovers Clinking of glass Breaking of glass Scratching � Purring � Banging � Crushing � Tearing � Rustling � Crashing � Gasping �
STOP
And the tap, tap, tapping of an all-too-familiar pencil as I ponder a crossword puzzle
I tried to leave the music But music never left me Even as my heart keeps on beating And life keeps going on
I�ll keep making music And being my own band.

No Such Thing - John Mayer
"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 I am invincible 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
