Lirieke: Hinder. The All American Nightmare. The Life.

I'm leaving tonight down the same dirt road
A million times I've driven just to get home
And I ain't ever looking back
For nothing

Headed for the coast, looking for the high life
Everybody knows it's nothing but a good time
And I sold everything I had for something
I can't seem to find

So this is the life they talked about
This is the "I can't live without"
When the real world crashes down
Oh, if they could see me now

When all the dreams of on your own
Turn to nightmares all alone
It hits you right between the eyes
This is the life, this is the life, oh

These four walls feel more like a prison
Instead of paradise I couldn't wait to live in
So I just drink myself
To sleep again

I can't escape my mind, this ain't like a movie
It's getting hard to hide, the more it's doin' to me
Don't know how long I can keep
I'm going crazy all the time

So this is the life they talked about
So this is the "I can't live without"
When the real world crashes down
Oh, if they could see me now

When all the dreams of on your own
Turn to nightmares all alone
It hits you right between the eyes
This is the life, oh

Nothing is ever what it seems
Maybe that grass ain't so green
Nothing's ever out of reach
When you're seventeen

This is the life they talked about
This is the "I can't live without"
When the real world crashes down
Oh, if they could see me now

When all the dreams of on your own
Turn to nightmares all alone
It hits you right between the eyes
This is the life, oh, this is the life, yeah
