Lyrics & translation
Verse
Gravel crunches under my worn shoes.
Le gravier craque sous mes chaussures usées.
The empty lot is my only stage.
Le terrain vide est ma seule scène.
They said no, but I keep moving.
Ils ont dit non, mais je continue.
My friends hammer wood in the corner.
Mes amis clouent du bois dans l'angle.
Chorus
Glitter catches in the gravel.
Les paillettes restent prises dans le gravier.
Four friends are building me a floor.
Quatre amis me construisent un plancher.
Glitter catches in the gravel.
Les paillettes restent prises dans le gravier.
Their hands applaud before I finish.
Leurs mains applaudissent avant que je termine.
Verse
Sweat drops fall on the sharp rocks.
Ma sueur tombe sur les pierres coupantes.
Muscle memory fights against the doubt.
La mémoire musculaire combat le doute.
A small platform begins to take shape.
Une petite plateforme commence à prendre forme.
Built with love and rough pine boards.
Construite avec amour et des planches de pin brut.
Chorus
Glitter catches in the gravel.
Les paillettes restent prises dans le gravier.
Four friends are building me a floor.
Quatre amis me construisent un plancher.
Their hands applaud before I finish.
Leurs mains applaudissent avant que je termine.
Bridge
One slip won't stop the spin.
Une glissade n'arrêtera pas le tournoiement.
The sky is wide and open now.
Le ciel est vaste et ouvert maintenant.
