Up Where the Light Gets In
Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
We climbed up where no one goes
Flattened boxes for a seat
Nobody else could see the glow
But you made the whole thing sweet

[Pre-chorus]
Up here the noise falls away
Just the tank and the two of us
One more year, one more day

[Chorus]
Courtney, light the candle now
We're shouting it out for you
Nothing about you feels forty
Everything you do rings true

[Verse 2]
You'll find a rooftop anywhere
Turn a ledge into a throne
Somehow you make it feel less bare
Standing there you're not alone

[Bridge]
Every year gets stacked up high
Like cardboard flattened by a wall
Still you shine against the sky
You're the reason we came at all

[Chorus]
Courtney, light the candle now
We're shouting it out for you
Nothing about you feels forty
Everything you do rings true

[Outro]
We'll leave the boxes where they lay
Happy birthday, come what may
