Normally you'd think having a sibling would make you less lonely, but somehow it didn't work out that way for this guy. Even though it's a substantial chunk of the lyrics of this song, it somehow comes off to me as just like, one example of how even something that should have been great for him didn't quite work out like it was supposed to.
Like a lot of families these days, they just end up moving far apart and he watches the cycle repeat itself from who knows how many hundreds of miles apart. Instead of a payoff where he ends up really close with his sister, they just have to live out their separate lives, far apart.
So in the very beginning of his life, he resents his sister for the attention she got, and somehow he can never shake a guilty feeling for that, and then when they are older, he misses her badly and how physically and also emotionally far apart they have become. And you get this sense that there's this big journey implied in between, where just mentioning this family stuff is like a big secret, the kind of thing you might just barely guess at as being the thing in the corner of somebody's eye, as they stare off into the distance over a beer.
I just saw Atlanta's "Yacht Rock Review" in Athens GA and this was one of their best numbers!
Also, guess who went home losers tonight...GA TECH, that's who! They had it projected on a big screen, it was totally epic. The dorks lose again wooooooo looooosersss WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
