  Verse 1

  Boxes stacked beside the dryer You left them there again Five cups waiting on the bench You always fill up ten

  Pre-chorus

  We keep gathering the mess you make Because it means you're near So light the candles, raise a cup

  Chorus

  Benjamin, the room lights up The minute you walk in We're glad you made it one year on Let's do it all again

  Verse 2

  You laugh too loud in small rooms And nobody minds at all You're the one we all remember When we're leaning on the wall

  Chorus

  Benjamin, the room lights up The minute you walk in We're glad you made it one year on Let's do it all again

  Bridge

  However far you wander off However long it's been We'll still be saving you a seat Right here beside the din

  Chorus

  Benjamin, the room lights up The minute you walk in We're glad you made it one year on Let's do it all again

  Outro

  The dryer's still spinning round But we're stacking cups again

  Verse 1

  Left out on the frosted step Something waiting, wrapped again Voices humming through the glass Someone's coming to let you in

  Pre-chorus

  Hear them laughing, close and near Feel the count begin to climb Something's building, warm and clear

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Benjamin Every year we say again Light the candles, make a wish Glad you're here, my Benjamin

  Verse 2

  Doorbell ringing, hands behind backs Nobody quite says when Everybody knows the trick Because it's all for Benjamin

  Pre-chorus

  Hear them laughing, close and near Feel the count begin to climb Something's building, warm and clear

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Benjamin Every year we say again Light the candles, make a wish Glad you're here, my Benjamin

  Bridge

  However far you've gone or been This room still holds you like its own Nobody else could fill that space You make this day worth coming home

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Benjamin Every year we say again Light the candles, make a wish Glad you're here, my Benjamin

  Outro

  Open it slow, the door, the mat We're glad you're standing there again

  Verse 1

  You left three glasses on the stool Torn streamer curled up like a grin We drank too fast and broke the rule Just to raise a glass to you, Benjamin

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody's laughing by the door Somebody's asking where you've been We keep on shouting out for more

  Chorus

  Benjamin, the night's not over yet Every face here lights up when You walk in and we forget Any reason we came, Benjamin

  Verse 2

  You called my name across the room I nearly dropped my drink again We danced too close and left too soon But that's alright, that's always been

  Bridge

  Here's to the mess we make for you The candles lit, the noise, the din Here's to the year that's coming through

  Chorus

  Benjamin, the night's not over yet Every face here lights up when You walk in and we forget Any reason we came, Benjamin

  Outro

  Three empty glasses on the stool We'll fill them up again
