John Mayer - 83 lyrics

I have these dreams I'm walking home home where it used to be everything is as it was frozen in front of me here I stand six feet small romanticizing years ago well it's a bittersweet feeling hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the radio and these days I wish I was six again oh make me a red cape I wanna be Superman oh if only my life was more like 1983 all these things would be more like they were at the start of me I had it made in 83 thinking about my brother Ben I miss him everyday he looks just like his brother John but on an eighteen month delay here I stand six feet small and smiling cause I'm scared as hell kinda like your life is like a sequel to a movie where the actors' names have changed well these days I wish I was six again oh make me a red cape I wanna be Superman oh if only my life was more like 1983 all these things would be more like they were at the start of me if my life was more like 1983 plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me and most my memories have escaped me or confused themselves with dreams if heaven's all they want it to be send your prayers to me care of 1983 you can paint that house a rainbow of colors rip out the floorboards and replace the the shutters but that's my plastic in the dirt whatever happened to my whatever happened to my whatever happened to my lunchbox when came the day when it got thrown away don't you think I should have had some say in that decision if only my life if only my life (fades singing if only my life)
