Great Indoors - John Mayer

This song is from Mayer's 2001 debut album Room for Squares. There's currently no music video, so it's easy to start with a blank canvas.
This is a song I know very well, but upon listening to it with a video in mind I thought of something different to what I'm used to.
I imagined a person sitting in a living room - a kind of couch potato - who doesn't leave the house. The song begins and it tells the story of when the character pulls all the shades and wonders the great indoors. Next comes a kind of Narnia moment where she opens a dusty door to reveal an amazing world all within the home.
The video would continue with a trip through the great indoors until they return back to the grubby living room they once loved. It's here they decide that actually they're going to leave the house and step out into the great outdoors.
