83

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
 Here I stand
 Six feet small
 Romanticizing years ago
 It's a bitter sweet 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
 Had it made in 83
 ♪
 Thinking 'bout my brother Ben
 I miss him every day
 He looks just like his brother John
 But on an 18 month delay
 Here I stand
 Six feet small
 And smiling 'cause I'm scared as hell
 Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
 Where the actor's names have changed, oh 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
 If my life was more like
 1983
 
 I'd plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me
 ♪
 At 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 1983

 You can paint that house a rainbow of colours
 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
 If only my life
 If only my life
 If only my life
 If only my life
 If only my life
 If only my life
 If only my life
