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
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

Stressed.

You've Got A Friend
When you're down and troubled,
And you need a helping hand,
And nothing, oh nothing is going right,
Close your eyes and think of me,
And soon i will be there,
To brighten up, Even your darkest nights

You just call out my name,
And you know where ever i am,
I'll come running... Yeah,
To see you again,
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall,
All you gotta do is call,
And i'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
You've got a friend,
Ohhhh

If the sky above you,
Should turn dark and full of clouds,
And that old north,
Wind should begin to blow,
Keep your head together,
Call out my name out loud, yeah,
Soon i'll be knocking upon your door

You just call out my name,
And you known where ever i am,
I'll come running, oh yes i will,
To see you again, oh baby
Dont you know about,
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall,
All you gotta do is call,
But i'll be there, yes i will,
You've got a friend,
Oh you've got a friend,
Aint it good to know you got a friend,
Aint it good to know you got a friend,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
You've got a friend!

It's the second time this month that this is so relevant. Thank God for friends.
But I still can't smile.

Just The Way You Are

by Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me,
You never let me down before,
Don't imagine, you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.

I would not leave you, in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far,
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I'll take you just the way you are.

Don't go trying, some new fashion,
Don't change the colour of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew,
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you, and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart,
I couldn't love you, any better,
I love you just the way you are.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.
