  Verse 1

  Chairs go up against the wall Somebody grab that basketball The hall is cold but nobody cares We came tonight because you're here

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody's cutting up the cake Somebody's shouting for your sake Feel that warm-up start to rise

  Chorus

  Horace, light the whole room up Pass the candle, pass the cup Everybody sing it out for us Nobody shines the way you do, Horace

  Verse 2

  Music bounces off the floor Somebody's propping up the door Doesn't matter that the heater's broke When you laugh the whole crowd woke

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody's cutting up the cake Somebody's shouting for your sake Feel that warm-up start to rise

  Chorus

  Horace, light the whole room up Pass the candle, pass the cup Everybody sing it out for us Nobody shines the way you do, Horace

  Bridge

  No fancy hall, no golden lights Just us, and you, and one good night We'd stack a thousand chairs to stay

  Chorus

  Horace, light the whole room up Pass the candle, pass the cup Everybody sing it out for us Nobody shines the way you do, Horace

  Outro

  Last chair stacked against the hoop We're still here because of you

  Verse 1

  The plates are sliding off again Nobody minds the mess You laugh until the tea goes cold You make the chaos less

  Pre-chorus

  We packed in tight to see you Squashed up on every side Something in this room is building

  Chorus

  Horace, light the candles now Sing it like a chorus Every voice is here for you We came for you, Horace

  Verse 2

  You steady cups with just a look You keep the whole thing whole Even when the table tips You're still the steady soul

  Bridge

  Another year of holding on Another year of you Nothing here was ever porous Not the love, not the crew

  Chorus

  Horace, light the candles now Sing it like a chorus Every voice is here for you We came for you, Horace

  Outro

  The plates can slide, we'll catch them all We'll always catch you, Horace

  Verse 1

  Boots piled up beneath the glass Tracking mud straight through the hall You never wipe your feet But we don't mind you, we're a laugh

  Pre-chorus

  Every year you crash back in Louder than the year before We're already cheering

  Chorus

  Horace, light the candles up Grab a glass and fill your cup We're singing like a chorus Loud enough for Horace

  Verse 2

  You leave a mess where you have been Doors wide open, coat on the floor But every room feels brighter The second you walk through the door

  Bridge

  Here's to another lap around Here's to the noise you make Here's to you, still standing Right where we need you, for our sake

  Chorus

  Horace, light the candles up Grab a glass and fill your cup We're singing like a chorus Loud enough for Horace

  Outro

  Leave your boots beneath the mirror We'll always save you room
