John Mayer - No Such Thing

November 2, 2007 · Print This Article

This November, let’s take a road trip with songs I love to listen while cruising on long and wide highways where you can just open your car window and sing to the top of your lungs. Just a reminder, maintain alertness when performing such stunts. Enjoy!

John Clayton Mayer, born October 16, 1977, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, and started playing guitar at 13 after being inspired by the movie Back to the Future.

In 2003, he won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the 2002 single Your Body is a Wonderland from the album Room for Squares.

To date, Mayer has toured with many groups, including Maroon 5, Guster, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Teitur, Ben Folds, and Sheryl Crow.

Lyrics of No Such Thing by 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 that 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
