We had a white and blackish sheltie had a name when we first got him
I wish I had taken better care of him but he had it ok
Im sorry when I get unruly when you carry on so much I get a little tired
I hope you get over your teething it's not easy when you feel sick
He had a sprightly walk you'd like him when he'd keep up along your side
Wrap your peckers what he told us me and mike looked at each other
Like whoa what was that then
Derek never woke up at night
And in the morning he's ready to go
And he never had a voice like you
To scream with when he wanted something
I should have been so much more willing
To help out with all the things
That a dog like you needed
What do you
See when you
See inside of me
You can count
When you count
Count on me
What do you
See when you
See inside of me
I wish I had taken better care of him but he had it ok
Im sorry when I get unruly when you carry on so much I get a little tired
I hope you get over your teething it's not easy when you feel sick
He had a sprightly walk you'd like him when he'd keep up along your side
Wrap your peckers what he told us me and mike looked at each other
Like whoa what was that then
Derek never woke up at night
And in the morning he's ready to go
And he never had a voice like you
To scream with when he wanted something
I should have been so much more willing
To help out with all the things
That a dog like you needed
What do you
See when you
See inside of me
You can count
When you count
Count on me
What do you
See when you
See inside of me

Had a white and black sheltie,
Had no name when we first got him
Should have taken better care of him, but he had it okay.
Sorry when I get unruly,
When you carry on so much I get a little tired.
Hope you get over your teething,
It's not easy when you feel sick
Had to sprightly walk you like him
When he peed up all on your side
Grabs your bags that's what he told us,
Me and Michael looked at each other like, "Woah, what was that there?"
Derek never woke up at night,
and in the morning he's ready to go.
And he never had a voice like you to scream when he wanted something.
Should have been so much more willing,
To help out with all the things that a dog like you needed.
What do you, what do you...
See what it is, see what it is...
See inside of the eye, of the eye...
See inside of the eye, of the eye...
You can die, you can die...
When you get, when you get...
What you know, what you know...
Count on me, count on me...
What do you, what do you...
See what it is, see what it is...
See inside of the eye, of the eye...
See inside of the eye, of the eye...
ide of me

Possibly?
the singer is remembering something from his past that he and probably his own brother "Mike" experienced. Probably his father or grandfather or crazy uncle tells the 2 youngsters to "Wrap your peckers" / use a condom so you don't have kids when you're older. He and Mike are too young to understand what the "father-figure's" advice means and they are "Like, whoa what was that then?!". Also probably relating that if he and Mike can't even take care of their dog, then they shouldn't have kids when they're older...
realq0464253 is right on about the song in general. the way i see it, the singer is having an internal discussion with his baby child and remembering his past growing up. The beginning of the song has a lullaby feel to it. he thinks/tells his child about the dog Derek he had and that the child would have liked it. He is comparing the child to the dog and the responsiblity of taking care of a child/dog. He apologizes to the child for getting "unruly" and "tired" or irritated when the baby is crying at night or wants something or is sick or teething or having to get it ready in the morning.
A child is an even greater responsibility than the dog, but he is up the the task now! He looks at the infant and "asks" it, "what do you see when you see inside of me?" And then he pledges to the child that he/she can always "count on me" when you ever need to "count of me".
I also think the "What do you/ see when you/ look inside of me" was meant to conclude the album and leave the listener with food for thought. It makes sense because the first song, peacebone, tells us that "it's not my words that you should follow, it's the indsides", if the whole album was a glance at their insides, it makes sense they'd end it by asking us what we saw.
Peace!

I had a similar relationship with my childhood dog, Sophie.
