  Verse 1

  Somebody stacked the chairs up crooked Nobody cared to get it right We were saving all the noise For the minute you walk in tonight

  Pre-chorus

  Hear that scrape of feet on the floor Watch the doors swing wide again Something good is walking in

  Chorus

  Ciara, look what we built for you Painted brick and borrowed light Every voice in here knows your name Ciara, this whole room loves you right

  Verse 2

  Somebody taped a sign to the doorway Somebody spelled your name in gold We have waited on this evening Longer than the story's told

  Bridge

  You could walk through any old room And it would light up just the same We are only lucky tonight That the room in question has your name

  Chorus

  Ciara, look what we built for you Painted brick and borrowed light Every voice in here knows your name Ciara, this whole room loves you right

  Outro

  Someday soon they'll stack the chairs again But tonight they stay right where they lean

  Verse 1

  Something showed up after dark Sat out there plain and small But you turned porches into sparks And made a doorstep feel like a hall

  Chorus

  Ciara, put the candles high Ciara, we all came for you Nobody lights a room like Ciara Nobody makes plain things feel new

  Verse 2

  You always show up carrying more Than anybody thinks to bring We hear your footsteps on the floor And suddenly want to sing

  Pre-chorus

  So pour it out and raise it high Tonight we're loud, we're unashamed Say the word before we cry

  Chorus

  Ciara, put the candles high Ciara, we all came for you Nobody lights a room like Ciara Nobody makes plain things feel new

  Bridge

  However far you've had to come However late, however slow You're the one we're waiting on You're the reason we're all aglow

  Chorus

  Ciara, put the candles high Ciara, we all came for you Nobody lights a room like Ciara Nobody makes plain things feel new

  Outro

  The step is empty, the door's flung wide You're home now, come inside

  We could count a hundred crates every single one worth telling so before the candles come

  Chorus

  Ciara, raise your glass up high let the whole rooftop hear it you're the toast we keep coming back to Ciara, nobody comes near it

  Verse 2

  Every bottle here got emptied toasting something good and true half of them were probably for you the rest will be soon too

  Pre-chorus

  We could count a hundred crates every single one worth telling so before the candles come

  Chorus

  Ciara, raise your glass up high let the whole rooftop hear it you're the toast we keep coming back to Ciara, nobody comes near it

  Bridge

  Here's to another year of noise here's to the crowd that came the crates will empty one by one but nothing dims that flame

  Chorus

  Ciara, raise your glass up high let the whole rooftop hear it you're the toast we keep coming back to Ciara, nobody comes near it

  Outro

  The bottles stand there empty now but look how bright we shone
