Serendipity - 83 lyrics

rate me

I have these dreams I'm walking home<br />

Home where it used to be<br />

And everything is as it was<br />

Frozen in front of me<br />

<br />

Here I stand six feet small<br />

Romanticizing years ago<br />

But it's a bittersweet feeling<br />

Hearing 'Wrapped Around Your Finger' on the radio<br />

<br />

And these days I wish I was six again<br />

Oh, make me a red cape, I wanna be Superman<br />

Oh, if only my life was more like 1983<br />

All these things would be more like they were at the start of me<br />

Had it made in '83<br />

<br />

Thinking about my brother Ben<br />

I miss him everyday<br />

Well he looks just like his brother John<br />

But on an eighteen month delay<br />

<br />

Here I stand six feet small<br />

And smiling cause I'm scared as hell<br />

Kinda like your life is like a sequel to a movie<br />

Where the actors' names have changed<br />

<br />

Well, well these days I wish I was six again<br />

Oh, make me a red cape, I wanna be Superman<br />

Oh, if only my life was more like 1983<br />

All these things would be more like it were at the start of me<br />

If my life was more like 1983<br />

Plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me<br />

<br />

And most my memories have escaped me<br />

Or confused themselves with dreams<br />

If Heaven's all they want it to be<br />

Send your prayers to me care of 1983<br />

<br />

You can paint that house a rainbow of colors<br />

Rip out the floorboards<br />

Replace the shutters<br />

But that's my plastic in the dirt<br />

<br />

Whatever happened to my, whatever happened to my<br />

Whatever happened to my lunch box?<br />

When came the day that it got thrown away<br />

And don't you think I should have had some say in that decision?<br />

<br />

If only my life<br />

If only my life<br />

If only my life<br />

...
