[Chorus]
"Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard"
You said, "Hey yeah, I can't believe it
I barely started now I'm falling apart"

[Verse 1]
And it's hard
Standing at the crossroads
But having all the answers
Never helped me out, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but then a boom shake helps me awake
I need some coffee and maybe a shave
And it's a pretty bad way to start my today
Turn on the radio and what does he say

[Chorus]
He says, "Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard"
You said, "Hey yeah, I can't believe it
I barely started now I'm falling apart"

[Verse 2]
And the stars
They were shining through the window
You feel a little moon glow
Kind of like a rainbow
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but then a boom shake, now I'm awake
I think it's over, but it's everyday
And it's a pretty fine mess I'm starting to make
I couldn't tell you I was never afraid

[Chorus]
Sayin' "Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard"
You said, "Hey yeah, I can't believe it
I barely started now I'm falling apart"
"Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard"
You said, "Hey yeah, I can't believe it
I barely started now I'm falling apart"

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
"Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard"
You said, "Hey yeah, I can't believe it
I barely started now I'm falling apart"
"Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard"
You said, "Hey yeah, I can't believe it
I barely started now I'm falling apart"
[Outro]
Ah, welcome to the real world
Ah, welcome to the real world
Ah, welcome to the real world
