  Verse 1

  Yellow twine out on the bench Waiting for your steady hand Every little thing you tend Somehow learns to understand

  Pre-chorus

  You've been growing quiet wonders Never once asking for the praise But tonight we're done with waiting

  Chorus

  Callie, light the candles now Every year you've pulled us through This whole room is here to shout Happy birthday, Callie, to you

  Verse 2

  Rusted trowels, a garden glove Nothing fancy, nothing grand Just the shape of all your love Sitting patient in your hand

  Bridge

  We don't say it near enough How you hold this whole place steady We are lucky, we are proud So we're saying it already

  Chorus

  Callie, light the candles now Every year you've pulled us through This whole room is here to shout Happy birthday, Callie, to you

  Outro

  Somewhere twine still waits to bloom We just wanted you to know

  Verse 1

  Something rings the moment you arrive Heads turn up before you say a word Crates and boxes just get in your way You're the best thing anyone has heard

  Chorus

  Callie, you're the noise we're waiting for Nobody walks in quite like you Every door swings wider when you're near Callie, the whole room cheers for you

  Verse 2

  You could light a shop up after dark Carrying nothing but your easy grin Onions in a crate could not care less But we all clock the second you come in

  Pre-chorus

  So light the candles, pass the cake around Let somebody shout your name out loud Here it comes, so lift your cup

  Chorus

  Callie, you're the noise we're waiting for Nobody walks in quite like you Every door swings wider when you're near Callie, the whole room cheers for you

  Bridge

  Another year of turning heads Another year of standing tall We're glad the bell rang out for you Glad you're here to shake us all

  Chorus

  Callie, you're the noise we're waiting for Nobody walks in quite like you Every door swings wider when you're near Callie, the whole room cheers for you

  Outro

  Let that bell keep ringing loud We're glad you walked on through

  Verse 1

  Glass fogs up by the doorway Coats are piled up in a heap Everybody's crowding in here Just to watch you take the leap

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the trumpets start to swell Somebody ring the bell We been waiting all week just for this

  Chorus

  Callie, get the candles burning Room's alive, the night is turning Every horn line plays your name Callie, you set us all aflame

  Verse 2

  Steam runs down the window glass Blurring out the coats below Nothing blurs the way we see you You're the brightest thing we know

  Bridge

  Stand up tall, don't be shy Let the whole room testify We came here just to say it loud

  Chorus

  Callie, get the candles burning Room's alive, the night is turning Every horn line plays your name Callie, you set us all aflame

  Outro

  Wipe the fog from off the glass Here's to you, and here's to us
