Practice

Intro

Practice, practice, (oh) practice, practice

Uh-huh, yeah — la-la, la-la

Practice, practice, (go, go) practice, practice

Mmm — ah-ah, ah-ah

Verse

Late lamp, tiny room, paper-scrawled lines on the floor

Fingers trace the same chord, nail the same step once more

Metronome ticking like a small, steady dare

I breathe in, count it out, feel it climb through the air

Glass of water steaming, sneakers by the door

I’m learning how to land when my feet don’t know the floor

Callused little moments turning into something raw

Keep the tape rolling — keep the tape rolling, keep the tape rolling

Pre-chorus

One phrase at a time (time), one beat at a time (time)

Don’t rush the climb (climb), don’t skip the lines (lines)

Say the words slow (slow), then faster—let it fly (fly)

Mmm — oh-oh, oh-oh

Chorus

Practice, practice, till the cracks fill with gold

Practice, practice, till the story’s told (yeah)

Practice, practice, one more run, one more go (one more go)

Practice, practice — keep it moving, feel the flow

Practice, practice, feel it in your bones (in your bones)

Practice, practice, you’re not doing this alone (nah)

Practice, practice, say it loud, say it slow

Practice, practice — now watch me grow, watch me grow

Verse

Sticky mornings, midnight calls, sticky-sweet mistakes

Recording every stumble like a map of what it takes

I punch the silence with a laugh, a scar, a small exhale

Turn the hesitation into armor, turn the tremble into tale

Neighbors humming through the wall, I let the melody awake

Rings of old attempts around the rim like a keepsake

I trade the fear for footsteps, trade the maybe for the road

I’m learning how to carry every bar and every load

Bridge

Uh — keep your mouth on the shape of the song (shape of the song)

Tap your foot to the rhythm and drag it along (drag it along)

Throw your doubt in the closet, lock it, throw away the key (throw away the key)

Sing it louder in the mirror till the mirror sings with me (sings with me)

(Na-na — na-na) practice, practice (yeah), practice, practice (oh)

Chorus

Practice, practice, till the cracks fill with gold

Practice, practice, till the story’s told (watch it unfold)

Practice, practice, one more run, one more go (one more go)

Practice, practice — keep it moving, feel the flow

Practice, practice, feel it in your bones (feel it)

Practice, practice, you’re not doing this alone (not alone)

Practice, practice, say it loud, say it slow

Practice, practice — now watch me grow, watch me grow
