Moonbird - Head and Shoes

I remember playing on the rock in your backyard
I remember painted basements, riding in the car
Was anything important or was it all just thrown away?
Stick it in the trash with plastic forks and paper plates
I remember sunburn I remember swimming in the rain
All the times we skinned our knees I didn't mind the pain
I remember jumping off I wasn't scared to fall
Walking foot by foot along that rocky garden wall
And the space between my head and shoes is getting kind of full
Filling up with memories and I overflow
Somewhere in a basement there's a mixtape that we made
Must've played a hundred times on ninety degree days
I might not be a giant but there's a birdhouse in my soul
I turn it on whenever I get tired of getting old
On that summer afternoon you broke your collarbone
And tried to get into a fight I had to drive you home
I'm never going back but that's not what's been bothering me
It's just that everything's a little washed out recently
And the space between my head and shoes is getting kind of full
Filling up with memories and I overflow
When I'm full of heat and light and I finally collapse
Then at least I'm guaranteed of never going back
