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 silent days are over and the beat is at my door

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 (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own--
´Cause they´re gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light from somebody, somebody now (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight

Depression is a little like happy hour, right?
So, it´s always gotta be happening somewhere on any (any) given (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 (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own--
´Cause they´re gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light from somebody, somebody now (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own--

´Cause I had, a little bit of bad luck
No wonder this crumbling world´s stuck
A 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 spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own--
´Cause they´re gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light from somebody, somebody now (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
