Lyrics 83 MedleyAnd 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 ...
I've had these dreams of walking home Home where 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 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
Thinking about 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
PRE-CHORUS Oh, well, 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
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?
The phone rings in the middle of the night My father says, "What you gonna do with your life?" Oh Daddy dear, you know, you're still number one But girls, they wanna have fun Oh girls just wanna have, oh no, no, no, no They just wanna, they just wanna They just wanna, they just wanna-wanna
They just wanna, girls, let's hear it for the boys Let's hear it for my baby, let's hear it for the boys Oh, let's give the boy a hand
Oh, oh, maybe he's no Romeo But he's my loving, one-man show Oh, oh, oh, oh, if only my life Ba, ba-da, ba, ba-da If only my life Ba, ba-da, ba, ba-da If only my life Ba, ba-da, ba, ba-da If my life was more like '83 |
