Foil on the Bench
Style: Barbershop

[Verse 1]
Foil on the bench, crumbs and all
Somebody's picnic, half undone
We stayed till the light began to fall
Because with you the day felt won

[Pre-chorus]
Every year gets folded in
Every plain old day reframed
Something in you lights it again

[Chorus]
James, the room lifts when you're near
Nobody sings quite like these names
We raise a cheer, we raise a beer
Happy birthday, James, James

[Verse 2]
Wind took the wrapper off the seat
We laughed and chased it down the grass
Ordinary turned into a treat
The second that you walked past

[Bridge]
No candles needed, no big claims
Just you, still here, still worth the fuss
Some folks just carry warmth like flames
And somehow that warmth lands on us

[Chorus]
James, the room lifts when you're near
Nobody sings quite like these names
We raise a cheer, we raise a beer
Happy birthday, James, James

[Outro]
Long after the bench is bare
We'll still be glad that you were there
