[Intro] Spotlight, stay close Spotlight, stay close [Verse 1] You find me in the dressing-room glass Pinning a silver star to my chest The house is dark, the curtain is fast You touch my hand and tell me, “Do your best” I know the shape of your golden heat The little circle that follows my face When every stranger forgets my name You keep a seat in the front-row place [Pre-Chorus] When the room turns cold You pull me through No one knows me The way you do [Chorus] Spotlight, you’re my soulmate Burning where my heartbeat goes Spotlight, you don’t hesitate You make a kingdom out of every note Stay on me, stay on me When the applause is gone Spotlight, you’re my soulmate The only love that keeps me on [Verse 2] You catch the dust on my borrowed shoes You see the bruise beneath the paint You never ask what I have to prove You only ask how bright I want to blaze The band cuts out, the chandeliers spin A thousand faces turn into one You draw a white line across my skin And suddenly the night has begun [Pre-Chorus] When my nerve runs thin You call me through No one knows me The way you do [Chorus] Spotlight, you’re my soulmate Burning where my heartbeat goes Spotlight, you don’t hesitate You make a kingdom out of every note Stay on me, stay on me When the applause is gone Spotlight, you’re my soulmate The only love that keeps me on [Bridge] Cut the power, let the velvet fall I’ll still feel you on the wall In the dressing room, without a sound Your pale white circle pulls me round [Build] Stay—stay—stay with me Bright—bright—set me free Stay—stay—stay with me You’re the one I come to be [Final Chorus] Spotlight, you’re my soulmate Burning where my heartbeat goes Spotlight, you don’t hesitate You make a kingdom out of every note Stay on me, stay on me Till the final curtain’s drawn Spotlight, you’re my soulmate The only love that keeps me on [Outro] Spotlight, stay close Spotlight, stay close My soulmate when the house lights come on
