Origineel
[Verse 1]
“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
[Pre-Chorus]
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something’s better
On the other side
[Chorus]
I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something’s better
On the other side
[Chorus]
I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to 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
[Bridge]
I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
As long as I’m alive
[Chorus]
I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to 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
[Outro]
I just can’t wait til my ten year reunion
I’m going to bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
“Welkom in de echte wereld”, zei ze tegen me
neerbuigend
Neem plaats
Neem je leven
Zet het uit in zwart en wit
Nou, ik heb nooit de dromen van de Prom Kings geleefd
En de drama koninginnen
Ik zou graag denken dat het beste van mij
zich nog steeds verstopt
In mijn mouw
[Pre-Chorus]
They love to tell you
Blijf binnen de lijnen
Maar er is iets beters
Aan de andere kant
[refrein]
Ik wil door de hallen van mijn middelbare school rennen
I want to 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
[Verse 2]
So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits and
Misschien transfers
Ze lezen alle boeken maar ze kunnen de antwoorden niet vinden
En al onze ouders
Ze worden ouder.
Ik vraag me af of ze iets beters hebben gewenst
Terwijl in hun herinneringen
Tiny tragedies
[Pre-Chorus]
They love to tell you
Blijf binnen de lijnen
But something’s better
On the other side
[Chorus]
Ik wil door de hallen van mijn middelbare school rennen
I want to 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
[Bridge]
Ik ben onoverwinnelijk
Ik ben onoverwinnelijk
Ik ben onoverwinnelijk
As long as I’m alive
[Chorus]
Ik wil door de gangen van mijn middelbare school rennen
I want to 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
[Outro]
I just can’t wait til my ten year reunion
I’m going to bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
Zal je weten waar al die tijd voor was
