walking home
home where it used to be
and everything is as it was
frozen in front of me
here i stand
6 feet small
romanticizing years ago
it's a bittersweet feeling hearing
"wrapped around your finger" on the radio
these days
i wish i was 6 again
oh, buy 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
thinkin bout my brother Ben
i miss him everyday
he looks just like his brother John
but on an 18-month delay
here i stand
6 feet small
and smiling cuz i'm scared as hell
kind of like my life is a sequel to a movie
where the actors names have chanegd
oh well
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 plot of me
and most of 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 1983
you can paint that house a rainbow of colors
rip out the floorboards
replace the gutters but
thats 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 shouldve had some say
in that decision
