Songs for Jack

Verse 1

Paper plates go skidding wild Chasing off across the sand Nothing here stays where it's put But you're the one thing that still stands

Pre-chorus

Wind can pull the whole day loose Knock the basket, spin it round But we're all still gathered here

Chorus

Jack, you're the reason we came back Every single year we will Jack, there's no one quite like you Fill the glasses, cut it, spill!

Verse 2

Rusted wire catches everything Bits of nothing, torn and small But you're the one we chase and catch You're the one worth chasing at all

Pre-chorus

Wind can pull the whole day loose Knock the basket, spin it round But we're all still gathered here

Chorus

Jack, you're the reason we came back Every single year we will Jack, there's no one quite like you Fill the glasses, cut it, spill!

Bridge

Let the whole mess blow about Sand and paper, gone again We don't need it standing still We've got you, and that's enough to win

Chorus

Jack, you're the reason we came back Every single year we will Jack, there's no one quite like you Fill the glasses, cut it, spill!

Outro

Let the paper plates keep tumbling We know exactly where you'll be

Verse 1

Silver foil stuck in the fence Caught there shining, come what may Simple things can hold you fast That's the thing about today

Pre-chorus

Something ordinary catching light Nobody else would stop and see But we noticed, we always do

Chorus

Jack, the candles won't wait Come on and blow them back Every year you're worth the fuss Happy birthday, Jack

Verse 2

You turn scraps to something grand Find the shine in every wreck Half the room don't understand How you're never off the track

Pre-chorus

Something ordinary catching light Nobody else would stop and see But we noticed, we always do

Chorus

Jack, the candles won't wait Come on and blow them back Every year you're worth the fuss Happy birthday, Jack

Bridge

Here's to the noise and the mess of it Here's to you, never running low Whatever this year throws at you We'll be the ones who won't let go

Chorus

Jack, the candles won't wait Come on and blow them back Every year you're worth the fuss Happy birthday, Jack

Outro

Somewhere a fence still holds its shine We'll keep holding onto you

Verse 1

Streamers soaked and hanging low Gale is blowing, here we go Goalposts sunk in all that mud We came out here for you, that's love

Pre-chorus

Nobody minds the weather's cruel We're not leaving, that's the rule Something's coming, feel it build

Chorus

Jack, you're the reason we're out in this rain Grab the cake before it goes down the drain Nobody else could make us all pack Out to a field just to cheer for Jack

Verse 2

Candles flicker, wind fights back Somehow they hold on for Jack Every soggy sock, every cheer Wouldn't be standing anywhere but here

Pre-chorus

Nobody minds the weather's cruel We're not leaving, that's the rule Something's coming, feel it build

Chorus

Jack, you're the reason we're out in this rain Grab the cake before it goes down the drain Nobody else could make us all pack Out to a field just to cheer for Jack

Bridge

Mud on our boots and we don't care Sing it louder, fill the air However hard the sky comes down You're still the best thing in this town

Chorus

Jack, you're the reason we're out in this rain Grab the cake before it goes down the drain Nobody else could make us all pack Out to a field just to cheer for Jack

Outro

Let the streamers fall where they land We'll still be here, you understand
