Lyrics:

Friday night comes around again
The phone hasn't rang and it's half past 10
Hasn't had any fun since she don't know when
She feels herself slowly slippin' away
Walks up the stairs and turns out the light
She craves the darkness, she can't stand her sight
In a life of misery, only one thing is right
That's when the music fills her soul
She has a purpose, she has some joy, she has a place to go now
Lonely girl dancing in the darkness
To the sound of the beat up radio
Singing and swaying across the carpet
Another life saved by rock 'n' roll
She goes to school, she's got no friends in class
She knows they talk and tease her behind her back
When she tries to bring up music they just start to laugh
American's idol minds don't understand
She longs to be with a boy tonight
Someone she can talk with and'll hold her tight
Grab her hand and go dance under the moonlight
The soundtrack fills her soul
She's got some promise, she's got some hope, she's got a place to go now
She feels the walls closing in a little more every night
Sometimes she wants to end it all
It hurts so much when you realize you're losing your mind
So she just sits alone and cries
She sits and listens to music on her front porch
Neighborhood kid passes by like times before
He always waved hello, he's always been too shy to talk
He heard something that made his courage kick in
He shuffled his feet and talked about the day outside
He asked are you ok, it looks like you're about to cry?
He told her he loved what he heard when he walked by
He couldn't explain why, but it stirred something in his soul
They got each other, they got the music, they got a place to go now
