He wrote this song for his piano.
"It was my tribute to my baby" - Andrew
Absolute Punk has a series of videos where Andrew talks about each one of the songs on the album, and in the one about "Lullaby" he said that the main reason for writing this song was his piano.
He was moving out of his old place and into a newer, much bigger home. So, he was finally able to have the grand piano that he always wanted. However, this meant leaving behind his old piano that was with him through "the dark punk rock clubs of 1000 american towns." This was the piano he had with him throughout Something Corporate's first Warped Tour until their North record.
"The intention was, I'm gona write a song for my piano, the last night that I play this piano.. It's about that ... Obviously, you know, there's the conversation about the friend calling, but whatever, it's all really rooted in this idea of the piano almost being its own soul.. and it's connection to me and what it represents"
But, in the end, this song is just another representation of Andrew's amazing-ness and his ability to make even a song about his old piano relateable to his fans. To him, it's about his piano.. But to us it's about a relationship, a friendship, a loss, anything we want it to be.

@JustKeepSwimming Hello from 14 years into the future! I just listened to this song again and I distinctly remember Andrew saying this when I saw him live way back when (but I couldn't find evidence of it). I've upvoted this comment so hopefully it'll appear higher up now!
