[Intro] And these days And these days I wish, I wish, I wish I was six again I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish I wish, I wish, I wish I was six again If only my... [Verse One] I've these dreams of 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 It's a bittersweet feeling hearing No Such Thing on the radio [Pre-Chorus] And these days I wish I was six again Oh, make me a red cape I wanna be Superman [Chorus] Oh, if only my life was more like 1983 All these things would be more like they were at the start of me Had it made in '83 [Verse Two] Thinking 'bout my brother Ben I miss him every day He looks just like his brother John But on an 18-month delay He's a-okay, by the way Here I stand, six feet small And smiling cause I'm scared as hell Kind of like life is like a sequel to a movie Where the actors' names have changed Oh well [Pre-Chorus] Well, these days I wish I was six again Oh, make me a red cape I wanna be Superman [Chorus] Oh, if only my life was more like 1983 I wish 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 [Bridge] And most my memories Have escaped me or confused themselves with dreams If heaven's all we want it to be Send your prayers to me Care of Bridgeport, CT, and 1983 You can paint that house a rainbow of colors Rip out the floorboards, replace 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 that it got thrown away And don't you think I should have had some say in that decision?
