String Around the Box
Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
Red string pulled loose and waiting
Flour on the old wood slab
Somebody made this just for you
And that's the kind of love you grab

[Pre-chorus]
Every year you get one candle brighter
Every year the table's fuller too
So before the singing gets much louder

[Chorus]
Emilia, open up the box now
Let the sweetness spill on through
There's a room here that adores you
Emilia, happy birthday to you

[Verse 2]
You always save the last piece
Pass it round before you eat
Somehow that's the whole of you
Giving more than what you keep

[Pre-chorus]
Every year you get one candle brighter
Every year the table's fuller too
So before the singing gets much louder

[Chorus]
Emilia, open up the box now
Let the sweetness spill on through
There's a room here that adores you
Emilia, happy birthday to you

[Bridge]
Untie the string, let the lid fall back
Let somebody spoil you for one day

[Chorus]
Emilia, open up the box now
Let the sweetness spill on through
There's a room here that adores you
Emilia, happy birthday to you

[Outro]
The string's still curled up on the table
We're glad we get to share this slice with you
