Checkered shoes, blues
News that I would learn through a tweet
Arguing about what we could eat
Reality that's coming through a screen
Half a moon, moods
Wouldn't even mind a little swing
The little bit that's on the end of string
The part of me that makes me wanna scream, yeah
Checkered sneakers
A corny sign that I would never pick or check or blink at
A checkered blanket just to picnic, better check for teachers
A better method for a thing that I would never think of
A separate thing to dry, another one, a decorator
A shirt I probably should retire and become a sleeper
A doc on how a normal guy became a creeper
A thunderstorm in bed that's loud enough that we can hear it
A home that isn't just a building, it's the people nearest
So independent, I just roll with it thinking
That it's never gonna turn around
I guess I'm the type, not ready to die
But I guess I'm the type to go down
Checkered shoes, blues
News that I would learn through a tweet
Arguing about what we could eat
Reality that's coming through a screen
Half a moon, moods
Wouldn't even mind a little swing
The little bit that's on the end of string
The part of me that makes me wanna scream, yeah
I guess the arrogance showing
When I'm assuming they listen
I wrote your parents a poem
I wish it could have been different
I aint embarrassed to show it, but I'm embarrassed to say
It hit me harder than it hit you, only on a delay
Think I might be a stone for stepping over to next
I wanted more but got the least, now you live in my head
You still live in all the little things, I remember little dreams
Thinking bout some little ones, waking up to little feet
Now I see you as I'm driving around
You don't live in a space, you're more inside of a sound
Yeah you live inside my catalog, you remind of battle scars
Memories, they tag along, the happier, the sadder songs
But when I see the roof we climbed when it was twenty six
And bundled up together, only caring who the other is
I remember what it's really all about
So it's cool, I don't mind if you just live in the sound
