I think this bit is his dads new girlfriend talking to his mum.

Cause you were high school And I was just more like real life

His mum was a highschool fling type thing, where they then had a kid. Then things start to go downhill and his mum is no longer good for his dad because she doesnt make enough of an effort for him.

I'll do the pushups I'll wear the makeup I'll do whatever he wants all night His dad meets a new woman who 'wears the make up' and is more of a serious relationship

Hes annoyed with his dad for doing this to his mum and his family, and looks for comfort with a girl. 'you look good tonight girlfriend, Can I sleep in your bed?'

'And I believe that yeah, dad, maybe no one is perfect But it seems that you were pushing your luck'

  • He thinks his dad was being harsh to his mum

This might all have been a big argument and the series of events that happened that night, perhaps the argument he heard between his dads new girlfriend, his dad and his mum. He then goes for an angry drive and ends up at a girls house.
