  Verse 1

  Out behind the shed today boxes stacked up high found an old thing packed away and thought of you and why

  Pre-chorus

  Because you keep the good stuff safe you never throw out joy so let the fiddle start to play

  Chorus

  Amanda, grab a glass and stand we're calling out your name the whole room is your own veranda tonight you're not the same

  Verse 2

  The mower's rusting by the wall forgotten half the year but you, you're not forgotten, no you're why we're gathered here

  Pre-chorus

  Because you keep the good stuff safe you never throw out joy so let the fiddle start to play

  Chorus

  Amanda, grab a glass and stand we're calling out your name the whole room is your own veranda tonight you're not the same

  Bridge

  Clap your hands and stamp the floor give her one more cheer nobody loved like you before we're glad you're standing here

  Chorus

  Amanda, grab a glass and stand we're calling out your name the whole room is your own veranda tonight you're not the same

  Verse 1

  Cups go rolling down the platform Wind don't care where they land Everyone chasing something loudly But you're already holding my hand

  Pre-chorus

  Train's pulling in with all that noise Whole crowd shifting, finding their feet But my eyes are stuck on

  Chorus

  Amanda, you light up the station Amanda, you're worth all this waiting Everybody feels braver near you No wonder this whole place is celebrating

  Verse 2

  Paper cups spin like they're dancing Chasing a beat down the track Same way you move through a room Turning every head that looks back

  Pre-chorus

  Train's pulling in with all that noise Whole crowd shifting, finding their feet But my eyes are stuck on

  Chorus

  Amanda, you light up the station Amanda, you're worth all this waiting Everybody feels braver near you No wonder this whole place is celebrating

  Bridge

  Blow out candles like a spotlight Let the whole room shout your name Nobody here forgets you easy You make ordinary days feel untamed

  Chorus

  Amanda, you light up the station Amanda, you're worth all this waiting Everybody feels braver near you No wonder this whole place is celebrating

  Outro

  Let the cups keep on rolling We're just glad that you're here

  Verse 1

  Quarters drop, the drum starts turning Small change buys a little while You stand watching colours blurring Waiting there just makes me smile

  Pre-chorus

  Every year comes round again Spinning like the wash inside Something's building, I can't pretend

  Chorus

  Amanda, light the candles now Nobody warms a room like you Amanda, we don't care how Every single year rings true

  Verse 2

  Steam is rising off the windows Outside, everyone walks past You're the one thing here that matters Some things are just built to last

  Pre-chorus

  Every year comes round again Spinning like the wash inside Something's building, I can't pretend

  Chorus

  Amanda, light the candles now Nobody warms a room like you Amanda, we don't care how Every single year rings true

  Bridge

  Round and round, the same old machine Never once has it felt this good You make ordinary days gleam Better than I ever thought you could

  Chorus

  Amanda, light the candles now Nobody warms a room like you Amanda, we don't care how Every single year rings true

  Outro

  The drum slows down, the spinning's done But you shine brighter than anyone
