Jack in the Box
a beautiful track leaning heavily on picked acoustic guitar with real cello accompaniment and pure sounding male vocal; great for film character that is a late bloomer coming of age; also works for children- a toy being the main metaphor in the song.

Lyrics
you’re a springtime flower
that pops up in the autumn
a shower in the sun
the underdog that won
it’s the power still there
when the plug has just been pulled out
the static in your hair
the truth that’s in your prayer
Your a jack in the box, yeah
your a twisted rubber band
a battery that’s more than fully charged
you’re a cuckoo in a clock
and it’s eleven fifty nine
a wave that’s going to crash into a rock
when the stars align with the moons and all the planets
is it a sign that we’re ok, does it mean we’re here to stay
or is there someone else who hides behind the curtain
a hand that draws the line, a hand like yours and mine
you’re a springtime flower
that pops up in the autumn
a shower in the sun
the underdog that won
it’s the power still there
when the plug has just been pulled out
the static in your hair
the truth that’s in your prayer
Your a jack in the box, yeah
your a twisted rubber band
a battery that’s more than fully charged
you’re a cuckoo in a clock
and it’s eleven fifty nine
a wave that’s going to crash into a rock
when the stars align with the moons and all the planets
is it a sign that we’re ok, does it mean we’re here to stay
or is there someone else who hides behind the curtain
a hand that draws the line, a hand like yours and mine
