  Verse 1

  Boxes sliding, seatbelt tight Every mile we chose you first Every road we ever drove Ended where you burst

  Pre-chorus

  We packed the whole car full of noise Left the porch light burning low Now the candles want their glow

  Chorus

  Dakota, light the whole room up Another year, another crown Nobody drives us half as far As you when you're around

  Verse 2

  We kept your seat up front for luck Windows down the whole way home Every stop we made was worth it Just to not go on alone

  Chorus

  Dakota, light the whole room up Another year, another crown Nobody drives us half as far As you when you're around

  Bridge

  Here's to the roads we packed the car for Here's to the reason we always came Blow out the candles, make the wish loud Nothing this year stays the same

  Chorus

  Dakota, light the whole room up Another year, another crown Nobody drives us half as far As you when you're around

  Outro

  Boxes still shift when we turn the corner Home was always wherever you were

  Verse 1

  Boots are caked in yesterday's ground Set beside the mower, safe and sound Nothing shiny, nothing brand new Just the mark of all you do

  Chorus

  Dakota, blow the candles out This whole room is singing, no doubt Dakota, here's to another year Glad it's you we're gathered here

  Verse 2

  Shed door creaks but holds its ground Everything you touch stays sound You keep things steady, keep them true That's the quiet gift of you

  Pre-chorus

  So let the cake come out tonight Let every candle burn up bright One more year, and it feels right

  Chorus

  Dakota, blow the candles out This whole room is singing, no doubt Dakota, here's to another year Glad it's you we're gathered here

  Bridge

  Some folk shine like something new We just count on someone true Every year that someone's you

  Chorus

  Dakota, blow the candles out This whole room is singing, no doubt Dakota, here's to another year Glad it's you we're gathered here

  Outro

  Boots still standing by the door Steady as the year before

  Verse 1

  Snow is piled up bright and high Orange light against the wall Something in that colour warms Something in you outshines it all

  Pre-chorus

  You make the coldest night feel closer You turn the quiet into gold So let the whole room lift and hold this

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Dakota, shine Every year you feel like home We are lucky, we are yours Dakota, more than we could own

  Verse 2

  Every candle throws a glow Soft like snowfall on a wall You are warmer than the light Steady when the shadows fall

  Bridge

  However far the winters stretch You are the warmth we come back to Nobody else could hold this room The way that we all hold on to you

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Dakota, shine Every year you feel like home We are lucky, we are yours Dakota, more than we could own

  Outro

  The snow will melt, the light stays on We are glad you're here, Dakota
