My little brother's name is Stan
What he don't know he can never understand
When I say I know what's best
I have to play my cards right against my chest
So it goes he will never know
I try and show him how to be a better man
But it breaks I made the same mistakes
He goes along and shows the world he truly can
My best friend's name is Pete
If you're not careful he will sweep you off your feet
I can always count on him
Unless it's nine o'clock and he is staying in
So it goes he will never know
I try and show him how to be a better man
But it breaks I made the same mistakes
He goes along and shows the world he truly can
I see myself through them
And it's the world that's changing me
I come to grips with it
I haven't seen all there is to see
My old man's name is Dave
He watched me grow he must have been so brave
I don't believe he sees
That I have found this way to succeed
So it goes he will never know
I try and show him I became a better man
He thinks I break I made the same mistakes
I go along and show him that I truly can
So it goes he will never know
I try and show him I became a better man
He thinks I break I made the same mistakes
I go along and show him that I truly can
