Balloons Up in the Rafters
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Someone stacked the chairs already
gym lights buzzing overhead
balloons caught up in the rafters
waiting for the words you said

[Pre-chorus]
Hear the trumpets start to gather
hear them climbing toward the door
this whole room is turning toward you

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Erica
loud enough to shake the floor
we came here just to hear a
cheer that we've been saving for

[Verse 2]
Paper cups along the table
someone spilled the lemonade
every hand still finds a reason
to raise a glass to what you've made

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Erica
loud enough to shake the floor
we came here just to hear a
cheer that we've been saving for

[Bridge]
Under a basketball hoop we're singing
nothing fancy, just this crowd
and every voice that's out of tune
is still your name sung out loud

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Erica
loud enough to shake the floor
we came here just to hear a
cheer that we've been saving for

[Outro]
Fold the chairs up when we're finished
but this cheer stays in that room
