  Verse 1

  Boxes leaning on the brick stacked up crooked, stacked up high something in that broken light still finds you and makes you shine

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, the room lights up the second that you walk in every corner feels less dim happy birthday, Ibrahim

  Verse 2

  Cardboard corners, worn and soft hum of neon overhead none of that could dull the spark you carry instead

  Pre-chorus

  So let the glass rise to the brim let every voice come in we're building up to something

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, the room lights up the second that you walk in every corner feels less dim happy birthday, Ibrahim

  Bridge

  However crooked this year ran you kept us steady, kept us warm one more year to hold you close one more reason we're all here

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, the room lights up the second that you walk in every corner feels less dim happy birthday, Ibrahim

  Outro

  The light still hums against the wall but nothing here burns dim as you

  Verse 1

  Windows fogged up on the drive Tail lights blinking, half alive Through the greasy screen I saw you smiling That's the spark that keeps me tied

  Pre-chorus

  Every year the fog rolls in Every year you make me grin Pour the candles right up to the brim

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, the night's still young Raise your glass, the toast is sung Whatever storm, you're never dim Ibrahim, we're glad you're him

  Verse 2

  Down the road the red lights swim Steady as your steadfast grin You're the warmth against the window Never fading, never thin

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, the night's still young Raise your glass, the toast is sung Whatever storm, you're never dim Ibrahim, we're glad you're him

  Bridge

  Clap your hands and stamp your feet Nobody here can match your heat So here's to you, no half and half Give the birthday one more beat!

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, the night's still young Raise your glass, the toast is sung Whatever storm, you're never dim Ibrahim, we're glad you're him

  Outro

  Fog will clear and lights will dim We'll still be singing, Ibrahim
