The song's composer, Daniel Ingram, used chord progressions known as "authentic cadence" and "deceptive cadence" for the aria as an "inside joke."

There is no Deceptive Cadence in this song. These are the chords for the two stanzas that have the Authentic and 'Deceptive' (which really is an Inverted) Cadence:

Authentic C. stanza of first end the Chorus:

I –Db Maj: My big brother,

IV –Gb Maj: best friends forever!

V –Ab Maj: Like two peas in a pod,

I –Db Maj: we did everything together

"Deceptive" C. stanza of the second end chorus:

I –Db Maj: And though he's, oh, so far away

IV –Gb Maj: I hoped that he would stay

V –Ab Maj: My big brother best friend

vi –Bb minor: Forever ...

vi –Bb minor: Forever ...

See the difference? The chords Bb Minor and Db Major are inverts of each other. Aside from that, a Deceptive Cadence would NOT have an identical structure to an Authentic Cadence.
