Songs for Katie

Verse 1

Steam was rolling down the glass Voices laughing, loud and brash Someone shouted, someone cheered All that fuss because you're here

Pre-chorus

Every door was gonna open wide Every candle lit with pride Hold that breath, here comes the shine

Chorus

Katie, Katie, light the room Every year you make it bloom Katie, you're the one we chase Steady heart in every place

Verse 2

Mirror fogged but we still see Exactly who we want to be near You keep warm what could turn cold You're the story always told

Bridge

Behind that door the noise was you Somebody's favourite, through and through Blow it out and make the wish This whole room's yours, just like this

Chorus

Katie, Katie, light the room Every year you make it bloom Katie, you're the one we chase Steady heart in every place

Outro

The glass has cleared, the shouting's done You're still the brightest, warmest one

Verse 1

Floodlights buzzing over muddy ground Nobody's left but they stick around Boots all caked and laces loose Waiting on you to make a sound

Pre-chorus

The goalposts stand there, silent, tall Like they're waiting for one more call So grab your coat and grab it fast

Chorus

Katie, kick the night wide open Every floodlight's just for you Sing it loud so no one's hoping Katie, here's to all you do

Verse 2

Grass gone slick beneath our feet Nobody minds the cold or sleet We came out here to cheer you on Nothing about tonight feels beat

Chorus

Katie, kick the night wide open Every floodlight's just for you Sing it loud so no one's hoping Katie, here's to all you do

Bridge

Whistle blows, the crowd stands still Every voice here means it, still We didn't come to watch a game We came to say your name

Chorus

Katie, kick the night wide open Every floodlight's just for you Sing it loud so no one's hoping Katie, here's to all you do

Outro

Floodlights hum, the pitch stays still We're glad you're standing with us still

Verse 1

Rain is sliding down the glass Streetlights turning orange gold Every stop feels like a chance To tell you what my heart holds

Chorus

Katie, light up this old town Two candles for you, matey Every year you turn it round Nobody shines like Katie

Verse 2

Windows fogging with our breath Music low but hearts are loud Nothing about tonight feels heavy Because you're standing in the crowd

Pre-chorus

Count the years however weighty Count the lights however hazy We're pulling up to something

Chorus

Katie, light up this old town Two candles for you, matey Every year you turn it round Nobody shines like Katie

Bridge

Doesn't matter where this bus is going Long as you're the one we're seeing Every corner turns to something golden When your name is what we're singing

Chorus

Katie, light up this old town Two candles for you, matey Every year you turn it round Nobody shines like Katie

Outro

Rain still sliding down the glass Orange light on you at last
