Spotlight Soulmate

[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
