Spotlights by Eleanor Beale Lyrics

Spotlights on me only I can see
I see every little thing
I do
Everything is in black and white
Maybe that means I'm a little bit wiser
Maybe it just means I'm older
I don't want to be older anymore

When there are roses around us
All you see are the flowers
And all I see are the thorns
When I say "I'm fine"
I forget
That you're the only one
Who knows how good I lie
I'm not getting over this
But I'm not gonna hide
Under it

Freckles on your little nose
You say you might grow a bit more by December
But if you grow anymore I swear you'll be
Dancing with the songbirds above us
And you'll look down
And see the bigger picture
Please don't grow anymore
When there are roses around us
All you see are the flowers
And all I see are the thorns
When I say "I'm fine"
I forget
That you're the only one
Who knows how good I lie
I'm not getting over this
But I'm not gonna hide
Under it

You can cut off all my hair tomorrow
If you wanna
Coz I wanna
Watch it fall to the ground
Down where it belongs
I'm not hiding behind it no more
Then we'll sit out on the front porch once my hair's all gone
And you'll show me the roses that you've grown all on your own
And maybe then I'll see just how beautiful flowers can be!

When there are roses around us
All you see are the flowers
And all I see are the thorns
When I say "I'm fine"
I forget
That you're the only one
Who knows how good I lie
I'm not getting over this
But I'm not gonna hide
Under it
(you can cut off all my hair tomorrow
If you wanna
Coz I wanna)
You can cut off all my hair
You can cut off all my hair
You can cut off all my hair
You can cut off all my hair
