  Verse 1

  Boxes stacked up in the garage Nobody knows what they're for Turns out we were hiding lanterns Just to light your open door

  Pre-chorus

  Every string of light we're hanging Every match we strike tonight Waits on you to make it burn

  Chorus

  Carys, the lanterns start to sway Somebody shout it, clear and loud We came from every area's away Just to stand here in your crowd

  Verse 2

  Someone taped a sign up crooked Someone spilled the lemonade Nothing here was ever perfect But it's you the plans were made

  Bridge

  We could've met in Paris Still this garage would be the place Every crate we climbed to reach you Led us straight back to your face

  Chorus

  Carys, the lanterns start to sway Somebody shout it, clear and loud We came from every area's away Just to stand here in your crowd

  Outro

  Let the boxes stay unpacked The light was always yours to keep

  Verse 1

  You fight the wind to hold the box shut the candles bend but you won't give up laughing as the paper plates go flying we came here for you and not for luck

  Pre-chorus

  Someone grab the cloth before it's gone we're shouting now to carry on so lift your voice, the brass is coming in

  Chorus

  Carys, blow the candles out this whole loud beach is here to shout the tide can't touch what this day's for Carys, this is what you're about

  Verse 2

  You laugh the loudest when the icing falls you don't care who watches, who calls the sand gets in the cake and in your hair and still you're the best part of us all

  Pre-chorus

  Someone grab the cloth before it's gone we're shouting now to carry on so lift your voice, the brass is coming in

  Chorus

  Carys, blow the candles out this whole loud beach is here to shout the tide can't touch what this day's for Carys, this is what you're about

  Bridge

  Every gust that steals a napkin every wave that creeps too near only makes us hold on tighter only makes this all more dear

  Chorus

  Carys, blow the candles out this whole loud beach is here to shout the tide can't touch what this day's for Carys, this is what you're about

  Outro

  The box blows shut, the sand blows clear we're glad we brought you here

  Verse 1

  We dragged these chairs up here for you Gravel under every seat Streamers taped and catching wind Nothing here is neat, but it's sweet

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody grab the ribbon before it flies Somebody hush now, here she comes We've been waiting half the night for this

  Chorus

  Carys, look what we made for you A rooftop full of noise and light Nobody else could pull this crowd Carys, you're the reason for tonight

  Verse 2

  You always laugh too loud too soon You never wait for the big reveal Half these people came for you Nobody else could make this real

  Chorus

  Carys, look what we made for you A rooftop full of noise and light Nobody else could pull this crowd Carys, you're the reason for tonight

  Bridge

  Fold the chairs back up at dawn Keep one streamer, let the rest go You were the whole point all along That's the only thing we know

  Chorus

  Carys, look what we made for you A rooftop full of noise and light Nobody else could pull this crowd Carys, you're the reason for tonight

  Outro

  Fold the chairs, but leave one out We'll need it here again next year
