A Suitcase Full of Sunlight

Dragging this samsonite across the driveway The lawn is yellow and tall My uncle gave it to me in bows Now the hinge is completely shot It's shot I got a recalcitrant zipper Catching on a wool sweater from a girl who moved to portland A suitcase full of sunlight It's heavy like a brick of lead Pulling my shoulder out of the socket too much light Yeah it's blinding in the basement Three ticket stubs from a movie about a dog An old map of the tri state area Everything is plastic and heavy The aesthetic of the attic The aesthetic of the attic Check it I'm sweating through my shirt But I can't put the handle down A suitcase full of sunlight It's heavy like a brick of lead Pulling my shoulder out of the socket too much light Yeah it's blinding in the basement Leave it by the curb Let the rain melt it Sunshine in a box Too much light Too much weight yeah
