  Verse 1

  Steam on the window, warm from the crowd you draw a heart there, laughing out loud the whole bus is tired but you're never dimmed or bowed

  Pre-chorus

  Everybody shifts to sit near you something in the air, it's true tonight it's finally landing

  Chorus

  James, you light this whole back seat every year we're glad we found you, James nobody else could ever swap you you're the warmest one we've met

  Verse 2

  Rain outside and noise and light you make the dullest ride feel bright the driver knows your stop but nobody wants tonight to end in flight

  Bridge

  Here's to another loop around the sun here's to the games we've barely begun however far this old bus runs you're still the one that we're chasing

  Chorus

  James, you light this whole back seat every year we're glad we found you, James nobody else could ever swap you you're the warmest one we've met

  Outro

  Wipe the glass, watch the streets unfold happy birthday, James, our steady gold

  Verse 1

  Sunlight cuts through an open door dust goes dancing on the floor you walk in and stop the show something in you starts to glow

  Pre-chorus

  Every year you get here late but you're worth the wait so light the room, don't hesitate

  Chorus

  James, you light up all the frames every picture wears your name born for cake and candle flames nobody plays your kind of games

  Verse 2

  Engine oil and cut fresh grass this old garage lets you pass find the corner where you stand turning grey into gold sand

  Pre-chorus

  Every year you get here late but you're worth the wait so light the room, don't hesitate

  Chorus

  James, you light up all the frames every picture wears your name born for cake and candle flames nobody plays your kind of games

  Bridge

  Whatever year it's been for you we're glad you made it through raise a glass and stake your claims this whole day carries your name

  Chorus

  James, you light up all the frames every picture wears your name born for cake and candle flames nobody plays your kind of games

  Outro

  Dust still spins where sunlight streams James, you're brighter than it seems

  Verse 1

  Foil on the bench, crumbs and all Somebody's picnic, half undone We stayed till the light began to fall Because with you the day felt won

  Pre-chorus

  Every year gets folded in Every plain old day reframed Something in you lights it again

  Chorus

  James, the room lifts when you're near Nobody sings quite like these names We raise a cheer, we raise a beer Happy birthday, James, James

  Verse 2

  Wind took the wrapper off the seat We laughed and chased it down the grass Ordinary turned into a treat The second that you walked past

  Bridge

  No candles needed, no big claims Just you, still here, still worth the fuss Some folks just carry warmth like flames And somehow that warmth lands on us

  Chorus

  James, the room lifts when you're near Nobody sings quite like these names We raise a cheer, we raise a beer Happy birthday, James, James

  Outro

  Long after the bench is bare We'll still be glad that you were there
