Spotlight (Oh, Nostalgia)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
They might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't-don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like, you like, you like
'Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't-don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like
'Cause you could be your own spotlight
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so bright
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
Depression is a little bit like happy hour, right?
It's always gotta be happening somewhere on any (any) given (given) night
No, nostalgia, I don't need you anymore
I just hope, my perfect stranger, that my kids look more like yours
'Cause they might (they might) try to tell you how to live your life (your life)
But don't, don't-don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like
'Cause you could be your own spotlight
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so bright
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so bright
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
'Cause I had a little bit of bad luck (shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
No one in this crumbling world stuck (shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
A little sweetness keeps just out of reach (shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
'Cause compassion is something that they just don't, just don't teach, teach (shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
'Cause you could be your own spotlight
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so bright
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so bright
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so bright
(Eh oh eh oh) You could be your own spotlight
