"Spotlight" lyrics

"Spotlight"

So hard to breathe here in the thick of it
I lose perspective just a little bit
Sometimes
Got disconnected from reality
And the truth feels so much further than I can climb

When you're young, you just want to be famous
Play the part 'til they know what your name is
Standing here in the picture they painted
It's a lie
If there's hope, I know we're gonna find it
Made a promise that we can survive it
In the heat of the moment, baby, you still feel right
Love in the spotlight

Love in the spotlight

The things, dark tasks convince us to believe
Can make things harder than they have to be
I know
Keep trying so hard to be family
We're starting to repeat history
We gotta slow
Down

When you're young, you just want to be famous
Play the part 'til they know what your name is
Standing here in the picture they painted
It's a lie
If there's hope, I know we're gonna find it
Made a promise that we can survive it
In the heat of the moment, baby, you still feel right
Love in the spotlight

Love in the spotlight

When you're young, you just want to be famous
Play the part 'til they know what your name is
Standing here in the picture they painted
It's a lie
If there's hope, I know we're gonna find it
Made a promise that we can survive it
In the heat of the moment, baby, you still feel right
Love in the spotlight

Love in the spotlight
Love in the spotlight
