Oh Spotlight Lyrics

Step onto the stage, feel the heat rise

Flashes in my face, but I don't recognize

The way they watch, the way they wait

Like I'm supposed to know what to say

Every movement feels rehearsed

Every smile, every word

But when the lights dim, I'm just me

No script, no role, just tryin' to breathe

And they cheer, and they call

But I don't know if I'm there at all

Oh, spotlight, tell me what they see

Is it the real thing, or just a fantasy?

Oh, spotlight, do they even know?

Or just a shadow, playing for the show?

Fingers tracing old dreams on the glass

Did I chase them, or did they chase me back?

I stand in gold, wrapped in the glow

But somehow it still feels so cold

They love the story, love the sound

But would they stay if the lights went out?

If I slip, if I fade, if I let them down

Would they still come around?

And they cheer, and they call

But I don't know if I'm there at all

Oh, spotlight, tell me what they see

Is it the real thing, or just a fantasy?

Oh, spotlight, do they even know?

Or just a shadow, playing for the show?

If I walked away, left it all behind

Would they remember, or would they rewind?

Is it love, is it real, or just a dream?

Or am I just the song they like to sing?

Oh, spotlight, am I more than this?

Or just another name they'll soon forget?

Oh, spotlight, take it all away

Let me find myself in the empty space

Yeah… oh spotlight
