Chasing the Spotlight
Shawn Mendes

Verse 1:
I wake up every morning, dreams stitched in my mind,
Chasing down the moment, feeling so confined.
Poster on the wall, it’s all I ever see,
But this road to glory isn’t always easy.

Pre-Chorus:
I’m putting in the hours, giving it my all,
Every note, every word, I’m ready for the fall.
I keep on pushing forward, can’t look back in doubt,
This is my life, it’s what I’m all about.

Chorus:
I’m trying to be famous, for the world to see,
Breaking down the barriers, setting my heart free.
With every note I sing, I’m taking my first chance,
I won’t stop until I hear that crowd dance.

Verse 2:
Late nights and bright lights, pushing past the pain,
Every tear, every scar, just part of the game.
Friends say I’m dreaming, but I know it’s real,
I’m hungry for the chase, it's the fire I feel.

Pre-Chorus:
I’m putting in the hours, giving it my all,
Every note, every word, I’m ready for the fall.
I keep on pushing forward, can’t look back in doubt,
This is my life, it’s what I’m all about.

Chorus:
I’m trying to be famous, for the world to see,
Breaking down the barriers, setting my heart free.
With every note I sing, I’m taking my first chance,
I won’t stop until I hear that crowd dance.

Bridge:
So here I stand, with a heart full of dreams,
Every road through the struggle, not all as it seems.
But I’ll keep on fighting, won’t fade in the shade,
I’m destined for greatness, I’m not afraid.

Chorus:
I’m trying to be famous, for the world to see,
Breaking down the barriers, setting my heart free.
With every note I sing, I’m taking my first chance,
I won’t stop until I hear that crowd dance.

Outro:
Yeah, I’m trying to be famous, I won’t back down,
This is my moment, I’m ready for the crown.
With every stage I conquer, every song in my heart,
I’m in love with this journey, I’ve made my start.
