this song is about his brother, who was/is physical handicapt. And his father, because of his special motor skills called him spaceboy. It looked like he was walking in space, like an astronaut. Billy came from a trailerpark, his dad was 19 when he was born. He doesnt have great/good memories about his dad. But this is one. Because everybody thought his brother was also mentally handicapt. So he was called a retard a lot, which didnt go well with billy. The name spaceboy was the one thing that encapsulated what only father and 2 brothers new about his brother a normal person with special motor skills...."spaceboy i miss you"...the love for his brother...named by his father.....
