[Part I]
[Verse]
My big brother's off to work, he won't be back any time soon
He gave me an old guitar before he left this afternoon
Now I'm sitting on the sofa so unsure of what to do
'Cause I'll miss him being here although he never left his room
It won't be that big of a change and my routine will stay the same
But now I'm spending half my day just hoping he comes home okay
[Part II]
[Verse 1]
And now I'm rushing out the door 'cause I woke up for school too late
That lucky bastard has no job, he gets to sleep in all damn day
And I can hear him every night talking to people on his phone
I swear I'd wanna talk as well but he's not there when I get home
[Chorus]
I'll knock on his bedroom door before I sleep
I hope he hears and says goodnight
But I think he won't 'cause I can hear him playing guitar and it sounds just like
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
He can't apologize to me because he doesn't know he's wrong
And even when he finally does, he'll turn it to a stupid song
I guess it wouldn't be that bad and maybe I can sing along
But, really, there isn't a point 'cause it's only a minute long
[Chorus]
I'll knock on his bedroom door before I sleep
I hope he hears and says goodnight
But I think he won't 'cause I can hear him playing guitar and it sounds just like
[Bridge]
Like the man you despise
Claim to be nothing like
With his hair and his eyes
With his mouth and its lies
[Verse 3]
My big brother's off to work, he won't be back any time soon
He gave me an old guitar before he left this afternoon
Now I'm sitting on the sofa so unsure of what to do
'Cause I'll miss him being here although he never left his room
[Chorus]
I'll knock on his bedroom door before I sleep
I hope he hears and says goodnight
But I think he won't 'cause I can hear him playing guitar and it sounds just like
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Maybe if he cared about me as much as music, he wouldn't need to make this song
And maybe if he cared about me, his apology to me would be over a minute long
