lyrics

Inside my bedroom ceiling
There lives a little mouse
And when my head is reeling
He lulls me to sleep with little sounds

And I will drift away
To the symphony of little mouse breathing
And I'll allow him to stay
'Cause I wouldn't want to hurt his little mouse feelings

It's just another night
Lying on my bed
It's just another night
With music in my head

There is a girl in the walls
She's fifteen years old
She listens to me play my guitar

Occasionally she calls to me
But I don't answer anymore
By the time she's me she says she'll a big, big movie star

It's just another night
Memories all around
It's just another night
With music to be found

And if I don't see anyone today I don't think I'd mind
It's just that people can be so loud and I'm of the quiet kind
And you always say things like
"I love you more than you could ever know"
But I wanna know
It's a long way down to the ground from this
Pedestal

In between my pillows and sheets
I've made a fort, "No boys allowed"
It's designed to hide from eyes that try so hard to understand me

There's nothing to see from my nose to my feet
No imperfections to be found
But if you want inside, just close your eyes
And I'll sing so you can see me

It's just another night
Nothing left to feel
It's just another night
With music to heal me

It's just another night
Of ceiling, walls, and bed
Of mouse, and girl, and head
Of nothing left to be said.
