I don't think the song is about the Goonies, rather inspired by the Goonies. I think it is about Kris' desire to make the best memories that he can. "Life is only as good as the memories we make" is one of the most incredible lines I have ever heard. "these relics of remembrence are just like shipwrecks only theyre gone faster than the smell after it rains" Another great one. ...Gone faster than the smell after it rains is an incredible comparison to your experiences only lasting for a minimal amount of time and why everyone needs a good memory or two, or two thousand.
