  • Every words 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 can be your own spotlight
    You can be your own spotlight
    You can be your own spotlight
    You can be the star, you can shine so bright
    You can be your own
    'Cause their gonna tell you all the rules to break
    To take away that light
    You can be your own spotlight
    You can be your own spotlight

    Depression is a little like happy hour, right
    It's always gotta be happening somewhere on any given night
    And 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 can be your own spotlight
    You can be your own spotlight
    You can be your own spotlight
    You can be the star, you can shine so bright
    You can be your own
    'Cause their gonna tell you all the rules to break
    To take away that light, somebody somebody now
    You can be your own spotlight
    You can be your own cause I had, a little bit of bad luck Writer/s: PATRICK STUMP
