JOHN MAYER - 83 lyrics

rate me

I have these dreams I'm walking home<br>Home where it used to be<br>Everything is as it was<br>Frozen in front of me<br><br>Here I stand six feet small<br>Romanticizing years ago<br>Well it's a bittersweet feeling<br>Hearing wrapped around your finger on the radio<br><br>And these days<br>I wish I was six again<br>Oh make me a red cape<br>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>I had it made in 83<br><br>Thinking about my brother ben<br>I miss him everyday<br>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 these days<br>I wish I was six again<br>Oh make me a red cape<br>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>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>And replace the the shutters<br>But that's my plastic in the dirt<br><br>Whatever happened to my<br>Whatever happened to my<br>Whatever happened to my lunchbox<br>When came the day when it got<br>Thrown away<br>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>(fades singing if only my life)
