Intro: – (2x)
I’ve these dreams I’m walking home
Home when it used to be
And ev-ery-thing is as it was
Frozen in front of me
Here I stand, six feet small
Ro-man-ticizing years ago
But it’s a bit-ter-sweet feeling
Hearing “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 Su-perman
Oh, if only my life
/4 /4
Was more like nine-teen eighty-three
/4
All these things would be more
/4
Like they were at the start of me
Had it made in eighty-three
Think-ing ‘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 smiling ‘cause I’m scared as hell
(tacet)
Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
(tacet)
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 Su-perman
Oh, if only my life
/4 /4
Was more like nine-teen eighty-three
/4
All these things would be more
/4
Like they were at the start of me
/4 /4
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 hea-ven’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 a-way
And don’t you think I should have had
Some say in that deci-sion?
If only my life
If only my life
If only my life…
