lyrics

She said don't write me a lullaby
They're too quiet and always make me cry
And in the end, someone loses their best friend
A dog or sister, or sometimes the entire fight

She said put sunshine in everything you write
Half a smile will take you a mile, if you do it right
And even if it doesn't work, the other guys the jerk
That's how she taught me to write a song

She said write with your head
But remember your heart
And don't forget, every regret
That's how she taught me to write a song

She said don't write me one of them fast songs
You're voice is too pretty, I'll never be able to sing along

And don't forget every regret
Try your left hand at pool
When playing break every rule
That's how she taught me to write a song
(2006)
