As everyone else seems to think, I don't think it's about a relationship that ended because the girl left him for someone with money and a good body. This is my interpretation:
He is singing about his mother and the new guy she met, from the perspective of him when he was a teenager. She left Dan's dad for someone with a lot more money, and a great body. Now, that she found her "new love", Dan is kind of getting left out. Now, Dan's mom has always been there for him, but now when the new love has come, he only loves her part time, since her new boyfriend is getting more in the picture. Sometimes his mom also feels like she needs to be alone with her boyfriend, so all Dan is getting from her sometimes: Don't you touch me, or you're gonna ruin my relationship with this man, or something like that.Because, you know... kids, they can be kind of annoying in front of the boyfriend! I know it, because I am still a kid! ;)
Jokes aside, now he says she has all the money with her new "man", but her eyes are runny and red. That means she is not living happily with all the money. She misses her husband, and realises that she made a huge mistake.
Then he turns to the new man, and points out that he's imagining that his friends are overall awesome, but they're simply not.
Now he's stating more clearly that his mother's priorities goes like this: 1. Boyfriend. 2. Taking care of Dan. He gets the feeling, that he's left out all alone.
And that he's tall and got a deep tan, might be the meaning of that it's a beasty man, that eventually punished Dan physichally. Now he's stating about how the new guy takes care of his work. He complains about it to his mother, and she says for the fourth time: Get off me, no more whining.
Now he is repeating about the money, the unhappiness in his mother's eyes, the new man's friends that are literally no good.
Now he thinks that this might be the end of their relationship, so he makes it clear to his mother, that it is more that okay for him that she leaves the guy.
This is my thoughts - am I completely out of my mind with my different thought of the song?
