John Mayer - 83 Medley lyrics

And 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 these dreams of walking home
Home where it used to be
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

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

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-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 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 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
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
