| I totally agree with Jimmytheexploder. One of he deeper jeb songs for sure. The only thing i disagree with is it might no tnesacarily be about a gurl, it could be about a family member, a parent or something. I dont know but its a great song anyways. | |

| yeah- they do have some similarities with weezer don't they. I never thought about them sounding alike until you mentioned it. I always rhought this song was diected towards a father or some family figure in a position of power hence the name. 1 | |

| this is my all time favourite jebediah. their lyrics are always pretty simple but i think this one is about a person kevin knows, probably a girl, who he used to know well but since then have grown apart and become different people. | |
