lyrics

I probably should go to sleep and let these eyelids close
I suppose it's all I ever need
but I watch another hour go by
and its just my guitar and I
trying to write a perfect lullaby

oh momma, oh papa, oh sister, oh brother
how has it been so long?

I'm always thinking of leaving and it's making me crazy
but I don't know anybody here
it's just my guitar and I
trying to write a perfect lullaby

I slip into the kitchen and I rummage through the drawers
potato chips, old birthday cake, a box of wine
flipping through a book or two I've meant to read since last June
I've got another I should be starting soon

oh joshua, oh vincent, oh randy, oh aaron
how has it been so long?

go away bad dreams, not tonight
go away bad dreams, not tonight

I probably should go to sleep and get a couple hours
this guitar won't even stay in tune anymore
but I watch another hour slip by
it's just my guitar and I
trying to write a perfect lullaby

it's just my guitar and I trying to write a perfect lullaby
