Every time a guy writes a song
每当男人提笔写歌时
He's a cowboy a sailor
便化身牛仔与水手
Playing with the world in his palm
将整个世界握在掌心
Like the first pioneer
如开拓先驱般豪迈
Every time he opens his mouth
每当他开口吟唱之际
It's a loud movie trailer
声如电影预告轰鸣
Clipping every image and sound
截取每个画面与声响
He thinks proves he was here
只为证明存在痕迹
A hand a spike a physical fight
一手执矛 一场肉搏较量
A flash of light a curtain
电光乍现 帷幕低垂
A toll a tithe the passage of time
时光流转 岁月如贡
A height a dive a burden
登高跃渊 重担在肩
A girl a night a typical type
一夜邂逅 寻常红颜
A siren in the water
水中塞壬 魅影摇曳
A scroll a nod a message from God
经卷微颔 神谕天降
A son a holy father
圣子圣父 血脉相连
Every time a guy writes a song
每当男人提笔写歌时
He's a sailor a cowboy
便化身水手与牛仔
Holding out the world in his palm
将世界托在掌心把玩
Like he made it himself
仿佛万物由他创造
Every time I open my mouth
每当我开口歌唱之际
I think wow what a loud noise
声浪如雷自惊心
Still on the soapbox
仍站在宣讲高台之上
Just hoping I seem underwhelmed
佯装淡然掩锋芒
The hand the pen the writing again
执笔之手 再度书写
