stuck 83by 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 6 feet small Romanticizing years ago It's a bittersweet feeling Hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" 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 like1983 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 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 actor's 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 like1983 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 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 sayin that decision? if only my life was... -- change 1983 to late 2000 / early 2001 and the same sentiments would fit me. was more naive and stupid then, and because of it, in a way more pure. |
