Lyrics 83

And these days

And the the the the the

I wish I wish I wish I was six again

I wish I wish I wish I was six again

If only my

I've these dreams I'm walking home
Home when it used to be
Everything is as it was
Frozen in front of me

Here I stand
6 feet small
Romanticising years ago
It's a bittersweet feeling hearing
'No Such Thing' 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
He's a-OK, by the way

Here I stand
6 feet small
And smiling cause I'm 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
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

If my life was more like 1983
I'd 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 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 stay in that decision

Phone rings in the middle of the night
My father says 'what you gonna do with your life'
Oh daddy don't you know it's still number one
That girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have
Oh no 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 boy
Let's hear it for my baby
Let's hear it for the boy
Oh let's give the boy a hand

Oh
Maybe he's no Romeo
But he's my lovely one man show
Romeo

If only my life
If only my life
If only my life
If my life was more like 83
