Every word's a new regret if you say it right, right
Every wound can be forgotten in the right light
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you anymore
Cause the salad days are over and the meat is at my door
Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right, to do whatever you like, you like
Cause you could be your own spotlight,
You could be your own spotlight,
You could be your own spotlight,
you could be the star, you can shine so bright,
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now
You could be your own spotlight,
You could be your own spotlight.
(same chords as first verse)
Depression is a little bit like happy hour, right
It's always gotta be happening somewhere on any given night
Oh nostalgia I don't need you anymore
I just hope my perfect stranger that my kids look more like yours
Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right, to do whatever you like, you like
Cause you could be your own spotlight,
You could be your own spotlight,
You could be your own spotlight,
you could be the star, you can shine so bright,
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now
You could be your own spotlight,
You could be your own
cause I had a little bit of bad luck
Oh, when will this crumbling world stop
Little sweetness keeps just out of reach
Cause compassion is something that they just don't, just don't teach, teach
Cause you could be your own spot light,
You could be your own spotlight,
You could be your own spotlight,
you could be the star, you can shine so bright,
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now
You could be your own spotlight,
You could be your own spotlight.
