These hammers and strings been following me around
From a box filled garage 
To the dark punk rock clubs of 1000 American towns

And my friend calls me up
She says, "How have you been"
I say, "Dear I've been well
Yeah 
The money's coming but I miss you like hell
I still hear you in this old piano
Yeah"

She says, "Andy I know that we don't talk as much
But I still hear your ghost in these old punk rock clubs
Come on
Write me a song
Give me something to trust
Just promise you won't let it be just the keys that you touch"

Give me something to believe in
A breath from the breathing
So write it down
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming so what's the point in sleeping
It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide 
So I write you a lullaby
A lullaby

These hammers and strings been following me around
Behind passenger vans
Through the snow
Dirt and sands of 1000 American towns

And my friend calls me up with her heart heavy still
She says, "Andy the doctors prescribed me the pills 
But I know I'm not crazy
I just lost my will
So why am I
Why am I taking them still"

I need something to believe in
A breath from the breathing
So write it down
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming so what's the point in sleeping
It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide
To the sleepless
This is my reply
I will write you a lullaby
A lullaby

Give me something to believe in
So write it down
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming so what's the point in sleeping
It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide
To the sleepless
This is my reply
I'll write you a lullaby
A lullaby
A lullaby
A lullaby
