  Verse 1

  Someone stacked the chairs already gym lights buzzing overhead balloons caught up in the rafters waiting for the words you said

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the trumpets start to gather hear them climbing toward the door this whole room is turning toward you

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Erica loud enough to shake the floor we came here just to hear a cheer that we've been saving for

  Verse 2

  Paper cups along the table someone spilled the lemonade every hand still finds a reason to raise a glass to what you've made

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Erica loud enough to shake the floor we came here just to hear a cheer that we've been saving for

  Bridge

  Under a basketball hoop we're singing nothing fancy, just this crowd and every voice that's out of tune is still your name sung out loud

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Erica loud enough to shake the floor we came here just to hear a cheer that we've been saving for

  Outro

  Fold the chairs up when we're finished but this cheer stays in that room

  Verse 1

  Footprints fading by the parked cars melting soft in yellow light you walked home under all those stars and somehow made the dark feel right

  Pre-chorus

  Another year is pulling near something warm cuts through the cold we're gathered close to have you here

  Chorus

  Erica, the room lights up you make the ordinary shine we're raising every cup for you Erica, you're one of a kind

  Verse 2

  The streetlamps hum their steady glow watching over where you've been you leave a mark on everyone you know brighter than the spaces in between

  Pre-chorus

  Another year is pulling near something warm cuts through the cold we're gathered close to have you here

  Chorus

  Erica, the room lights up you make the ordinary shine we're raising every cup for you Erica, you're one of a kind

  Bridge

  However far the night runs on we'll find you standing in the glow however long since we first met you that feeling never lets us go

  Chorus

  Erica, the room lights up you make the ordinary shine we're raising every cup for you Erica, you're one of a kind

  Outro

  Your footprints still are melting there proof that you were always here

  Verse 1

  Grey skies hanging low today Spades lean muddy by the shed But nobody minds the weather Cause you're the one thing we get glad for

  Pre-chorus

  Grab a hand and stomp the ground Let the fiddle kick around Something's coming, hear it building

  Chorus

  Erica, light up this old grey day Clap your hands, there's no other way We'd wait out here in any weather Just to hear a birthday song for Erica

  Verse 2

  Boots all caked in yesterday's rain Nobody cares, we're dancing anyway Shed door creaking open wide You walk in and the room gets brighter

  Bridge

  Every year the clouds roll through Every year we cheer for you Mud and all, we wouldn't change it Not one bit, not one small piece of it

  Chorus

  Erica, light up this old grey day Clap your hands, there's no other way We'd wait out here in any weather Just to hear a birthday song for Erica

  Outro

  Spades still leaning on the shed Grey skies clearing over your head
