Lyrics & Translation
English
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 bitter sweet 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 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
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 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 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 say
in that decision

83 (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Tengo estos sueños, estoy
Caminando a casa
A casa, como solía ser
Y todo está
Como estaba
Congelado frente a mí
Aquí estoy
seis pies de pequeño
idealizando años atrás
es un sentimiento agridulce escuchar "Wrapped Around Your Finger" en la
radio
y en estos días
desearía tener 6 años otra vez
Oh, hazme una capa roja
Quiero ser Superman
Oh, si tan solo mi vida fuera más como
1983
todas estas cosas serían más como eran al
principio de mí
lo tenía hecho en el 83
pensando en mi hermano Ben
Lo extraño cada día
Se parece a su hermano John
But con un retraso de 18 meses
Aquí estoy
seis pies de pequeño
y sonriendo porque estoy asustado a morir
como si mi vida fuera una secuela de una película
donde los nombres de los actores han cambiado
oh, bueno
pues en estos días
desearía tener 6 años otra vez
Oh, hazme una capa roja
Quiero ser Superman
Oh, si tan solo mi vida fuera más como
1983
todas estas cosas serían más como eran al
principio de mí
Si mi vida fuera más como
1983
trazaría un rumbo a la fuente de la parte más pura de mí
y la mayoría de mis recuerdos
se me han escapado
o se han confundido con sueños
si el cielo es todo lo que queremos que sea
envíame tus oraciones
a cargo de 1983
puedes pintar esa casa con un arcoíris de colores
arrancar las tablas del suelo
reemplazar las persianas pero
ese es mi plástico en la tierra
qué pasó con mi
qué pasó con mi
qué pasó con mi lonchera
cuando llegó el día en que fue
tirada y no crees que debería haber tenido voz
en esa decisión
