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.
