You'd like to think I have it easy
At times I think you're right but then I
I take a look around and see your eyes on me
At times I think I have it easy
Until I close my eyes and see
This life in my box lets you turn the key
When you want to hear a melody

But I can never be the apple of your eye
The story of your life it's what's inside
I go through stages when I feel this matters
This song and dance is a way of life for me

You'd like to think I have it easy
At times I think your right but then
I take a look around and see the grass is always greener
On the other side
This life in my box lets you turn the key
When you want to hear a melody

But I can never be the apple of your eye
The story of your life it's what's inside

And I can never be the one who saves the day
I'm just the man in the music box

It's nothing special
It's nothing special
It's nothing special

I'm just the man in the music box
(Your music box superhero)
I will never be your superhero
