"Welcome to the real world", she said to me Condescendingly… - 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.<p>They love to tell you:
Stay inside the lines,
But something's better
On the other side.

Additional quotes by John Mayer

Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword.
Like punching underwater,
You never can hit who you're trying for.
Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried,
It's the chemical weapon for the war that's ragin' on inside.

It wasn’t as direct as me saying “I now make the choice to bring the paparazzi into my life.” I really said, “I now make the choice to sleep with Jessica Simpson.” That was stronger than my desire to stay out of the paparazzi’s eye.

Yes, I'm grounded, got my wings clipped,
I'm surrounded by all this pavement.
Guess I'll circle while I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry.<p>Someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar,
Someday I'll be so damn much more.
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for.
