Lyrics 83

I've these dreams I'm walkin' home
Home when it used to be
And everything is as it was
Frozen in front of me
Here I stand
Six feet small
Romanticizin' years ago
But It's a bittersweet feelin' hearin' 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 nineteen eighty-three
All these things would be more like they were at the start of me
Had it made in eighty-three
Thinkin' 'bout my brother Ben
I miss him every day
He looks just like his brother John but on an eighteen month delay
Here I stand
Six feet small and smilin' cos
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 six again
Oh make me a red cape
I wanna be Superman
Oh if only my life was more like nineteen eighty-three
All these things would be more like they were at the start of me
If my life was more like nineteen eighty-three
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 nineteen eighty-three
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
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
