Текст песни 83 (Live) - John Mayer

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
But it's a bittersweet feeling hearing
No Such Thing 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
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
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
Well, well these days
I wish I was six again
Oh, make me a red cape, now, now
Oh, 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 all of my dreams
All of my dreams
And 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 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
And if only my life
If only my life
If only my life
If only my life
If my life was more like 83
