83

john mayer - 83

ive these dreams im

walking home

home when it used to be

and everything is

as it was

frozen in front of me

here i stand

6 feet small

romanticizing years ago

but its a bitter sweet feeling hearing

wrapped around your finger on the radio

and these days

i wish i was 6 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

and smiling cause im scared as hell

kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie

where the actors names have changed

oh well

well these days

if my life was more like

id 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 heavens all we 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

rreplace the shutters but

thats my plastic in the dirt

whatever happened to my

whatever happened to my lunchbox

when came the day that it got

thrown away and dont you think

i should have had some say

in that decision

if only my life...(x7)
