the "brother" in this song was Jeff's friend, Chris Dowd. Dowd had his girlfriend pregnant and attempted to leave her but Jeff tried to stop him because he himself was abandoned by his own father.
"Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
Cause they're waiting for you like i waited for mine
And nobody ever came..."
the line is about the similarities between DOWD and Jeff's dad Tim Buckley.
