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 lifeBut don't, don't forget it's your right, to do whatever you like, you like
'Cause you could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright, e-o, e-oYou 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, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight.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, 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 spot light, e-o, e-oYou could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright, e-o, e-o
You could be your own
Cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light, somebody, somebody nowYou could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own, cause I had a little bit of bad luck
Oh, when will this crumbling world stops
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, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-oYou could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright, e-o, e-o
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, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
