  Verse 1

  Paper cups line up and wait Cheap little toast before we're late Someone's watching down the track Counting minutes till you're back

  Pre-chorus

  Headlights climbing out the dark Bringing back the missing spark We been holding this for you

  Chorus

  Elias, pull into the light Every cup up, every eye bright We been waiting on this day Elias, you made it okay

  Verse 2

  Platform's cracked but we don't care Somebody saved you a chair Candles won't stay lit too long Blow them out before the song

  Chorus

  Elias, pull into the light Every cup up, every eye bright We been waiting on this day Elias, you made it okay

  Bridge

  Another year come rolling in Loud enough to wake the tin Cups clink up and down the row Nobody wanted you to go

  Chorus

  Elias, pull into the light Every cup up, every eye bright We been waiting on this day Elias, you made it okay

  Outro

  Cups still standing on the ledge Glad you're home along that edge

  Verse 1

  Thunder hit the caravan roof Foil wrappers stuck to the floor We laughed like we had proof That you were worth fighting for

  Chorus

  Elias, light the candles now We're loud because you're here Elias, we don't need a crowd Just you to make it clear

  Verse 2

  Rain came down in sheets We didn't care one bit You turned the wildest streets Into somewhere we could sit

  Pre-chorus

  Count the years however you like Count the storms we've weathered too Every single one was worth the fight

  Chorus

  Elias, light the candles now We're loud because you're here Elias, we don't need a crowd Just you to make it clear

  Bridge

  Whatever storm comes through the door We'll stick like foil to the floor Nothing's shaking what we know for sure

  Chorus

  Elias, light the candles now We're loud because you're here Elias, we don't need a crowd Just you to make it clear

  Outro

  Let the thunder keep on calling We're still here when the foil's falling

  Verse 1

  The garage light is swinging bright We strung it up for you tonight Streamers caught in old bike spokes Nothing here without your light

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody find a candle now Somebody hush and gather round We're leaning in to sing it loud

  Chorus

  Elias, light the whole room up Raise the cake and raise the cup Every year we're gladder still Elias, we can't get enough

  Verse 2

  That old bike leans against the wall Ribbons trailing where they fall You built this out of nothing much We love you most of all

  Chorus

  Elias, light the whole room up Raise the cake and raise the cup Every year we're gladder still Elias, we can't get enough

  Bridge

  However far the years may spin We're always glad you're here again You make the ordinary sing Nobody else gets in

  Chorus

  Elias, light the whole room up Raise the cake and raise the cup Every year we're gladder still Elias, we can't get enough

  Outro

  The streamers hang here, torn and true Just like we're tangled up in you
