  Verse 1

  You fog the window with your grin We saved the corner seat again The hats are waiting, silly and gold Nobody starts this party without you in

  Pre-chorus

  The kettle's singing, we're all here Someone's counting down the year So lean in close, the moment's near

  Chorus

  Evan, light the whole cafe up Pass the trumpets, raise your cup We waited all week just for this Evan, you're the toast we can't cut up

  Verse 2

  You wipe the glass to see us grin We're piled up close, we can't fit in The waiter's clapping, off the clock Nobody's leaving till the candles win

  Bridge

  Twenty voices, one loud tune Nobody's watching for the moon We just want you laughing till it's noon Stay right here, don't leave the room

  Chorus

  Evan, light the whole cafe up Pass the trumpets, raise your cup We waited all week just for this Evan, you're the toast we can't cut up

  Outro

  The window's clear now, we can see Straight through to who you'll always be

  Verse 1

  The booth lights hum a golden tune Music drifting soft and slow You stroll up underneath the moon With that grin the whole town knows

  Chorus

  Evan, Evan, light the ticket line Two names rhyme with heaven, and you're one Evan, we are raising up our glasses high Come and let the party has begun

  Verse 2

  Every ride was built for you tonight Every song was pitched to your name Somebody strung the coloured bulbs up bright Just to watch you laughing at the flame

  Pre-chorus

  Grab a hand and spin it round Feel the fiddle climbing high We've been waiting for this sound

  Chorus

  Evan, Evan, light the ticket line Two names rhyme with heaven, and you're one Evan, we are raising up our glasses high Come and let the party has begun

  Bridge

  Blow the candle, make the wish you keep Every year you're worth the noise We'll be singing long past sleep

  Chorus

  Evan, Evan, light the ticket line Two names rhyme with heaven, and you're one Evan, we are raising up our glasses high Come and let the party has begun

  Outro

  The booth light dims but still glows on We're glad you're here, we're glad you're born

  Indie folk · Gentle · Fingerpicked

  A warm, stomping birthday song for Evan, built from the picture of a garage floor and turned into a straight up declaration of how much this person is loved.

  Verse 1

  Oil pooling on the concrete floor Boxes stacked beside the door You in the middle, sleeves rolled up Fixing something none of us gave up

  Pre-chorus

  You take the broken and make it new Every room feels lighter when it's you So light the candles, let this build

  Chorus

  Evan, Evan, raise a cheer Something good has landed here Twice as loud as any Stephen Nobody shines quite like our Evan

  Verse 2

  You'll drop whatever's in your hand Come running when we need you to stand Beside us when the whole thing shakes You're the steady one this whole world takes

  Bridge

  Here's to the hands that never stop Here's to the heart that won't give up Another year, another mess we'll clear We're glad it's you who's standing here

  Chorus

  Evan, Evan, raise a cheer Something good has landed here Twice as loud as any Stephen Nobody shines quite like our Evan

  Outro

  The floor still shines where you have been Happy birthday, Evan, best we've seen
