Intro: Verse 1: Im leaving tonight Down the same dirt road A million times Ive driven just to get home And I aint ever looking back For nothing Headed for the coast Looking for the high life Everybody knows Its nothing but a good time And I sold everything I had For something I cant seem to find So this is the life they talked about And this is the I cant live without When the real world crashes down Oh if they could see me now When all the dreams are all your own Turn to nightmares all alone It hits you right between the eyes This is the life This is the life ohohoh Verse 2: These four walls feel more like a prison Instead of pure highs I couldnt wait to live in So I just drink myself to sleep Again I cant escape my mind This aint like a movie Its getting hard to hide More its doin to me I dont know how long I can keep From going Crazy all the time So this is the life they talked about So this is the I cant live without When the real world crashes down Oh if they could see me now When all the dreams are all your own Turn to nightmares all alone It hits you right between the eyes This is the life Bridge: Nothings ever what it seems Maybe that grass aint so green Nothings ever out of reach When youre seventeen This is the life they talked about This is the I cant live without When the real world crashes down Oh if they could see me now When all the dreams are all your own Turn to nightmares all alone It hits you right between the eyes This is the life Ohhoh This is the life yeah
