83 Medley (Live In Birmingham) - John Mayer

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

And 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

And 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 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

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
