Artist/Band: John Mayer
Lyrics for Song: 83
Lyrics for Album: Room For Squares [2001]



I've these dreams I'm walking home

Home when it used to be

And everything is as it was

Frozen in front of me



PRE-CHORUS

Here I stand, six feet small

romanticizing years ago

But it's a bittersweet feeling hearing

"Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the radio



CHORUS

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

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



PRE-CHORUS

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



CHORUS

Well, 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

Had it made in 83



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, 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?



If only my life ...
