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

Chorus

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

 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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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
