'83

I have these dreams I'm walking home

home where it used to be

everything is as it was frozen in front of me

here I stand six feet small

romanticizing years ago

well it's a bittersweet 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 Superman

oh if only my life was more like 1983

all these things would be more like they were at the start of me

I had it made in 83

thinking about my brother Ben

I miss him everyday

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

kinda like your life is like a sequel to a movie

where the actors' names have changed

well 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

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 they 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

and replace the the shutters

but that's my plastic in the dirt

whatever happened to my

whatever happened to my lunchbox

when came the day when it got thrown away

don't you think I should have had some say in that decision

more like

more like 1983

I absolutely love this song. Not only is John Mayer my favorite artist, but some of his songs really just make amazing sense. This one really makes me wish I was a kid again. Doesn't it seem like we all grew up all too quickly? I remember those days when my big decisions were 'Should I play Barbies first? or dress up?' And you could eat whatever you wanted. Doughnuts for breakfast, ice cream for lunch, and candy for dinner! It's okay... you'll work it all off at the park tomorrow! Sometimes I really miss those days, and this song is awesome to reminisce to. I hope you guys enjoy it too!

Is the old saying once a cheater always a cheater true??? The link above is about a couple people who have described their own views on cheating, and if that old saying is true. My personal opinion is very torn, for many different reasons. If a person can cheat once, they can cheat twice, and they will. I really honestly feel like the only exception is that people can make mistakes once, and if they truly do everything in their power to make up for it, admitting to the truth, changing their lifestyle, etc. , they won't cheat again. But... if these things aren't done, they become an addict of cheating. And it doesn't stop at just one relationship, it affects all of them thereafter. My best advice to anyone out there that knows their "partner" has been a previous cheater... get out of the relationship. I know it's hard, but you probably deserve better. Or if both you and your partner arer cheaters, I guess it all works out okay. For the honest ones, find an honest person that will treat you right! Because you deserve it!
