Album: Soul Punk (2011)Spotlight (New Regrets)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
