  Verse 1

  Empty benches, canvas hanging still Nobody's called the night's begun But you could wake this whole thing up You're the only spark we need, the one

  Pre-chorus

  Something's coming, feel it build Every quiet thing starts to move We're just waiting on your cue

  Chorus

  Neil, you turn the lights back on Every wheel starts to spin your way Nobody else could make us feel What we feel on your day

  Verse 2

  Rusty gears can wake up fast When you walk in, they start to steal Every eye, every held breath That's the kind of pull you wield

  Bridge

  Stand up straight, take your bow This is your night, we're all here now No more waiting, no more still

  Chorus

  Neil, you turn the lights back on Every wheel starts to spin your way Nobody else could make us feel What we feel on your day

  Outro

  The benches fill, the flaps blow wide Because you came, the whole fair's alive

  Verse 1

  Basket stacked beside the tins Small shop humming, day begins Somebody grabs it, calls your name Suddenly the whole place has a flame

  Pre-chorus

  Word gets round the block tonight Everybody's turning on the light We're building up to something right

  Chorus

  Neil, we came to make you feel Wanted like the finest deal Neil, tonight we ring the bell Loud enough for you to tell

  Verse 2

  Soup cans watching, they don't know Half this town is set to go You walk in and shelves seem tall But you're the reason for it all

  Chorus

  Neil, we came to make you feel Wanted like the finest deal Neil, tonight we ring the bell Loud enough for you to tell

  Bridge

  Pile the baskets, stack them high Cheers go up into the sky One more year to hold you near This whole shop shouts your name, we're here

  Chorus

  Neil, we came to make you feel Wanted like the finest deal Neil, tonight we ring the bell Loud enough for you to tell

  Outro

  Basket empty, party's true Every tin here spoke for you

  Verse 1

  Rain runs down the dark cafe glass Steam on the window, watching it pass But you walk in and the whole place warms That's just how you feel

  Pre-chorus

  So pour the coffee, pass the cake Every year's worth the wait we make Something's building, about to break

  Chorus

  Neil, you light the whole room up Neil, we're raising every cup Nobody else could do it this way That's the real deal

  Verse 2

  Cold outside but we don't care Squeeze another chair in over there You make strangers feel like friends That's a rare kind of wheel

  Chorus

  Neil, you light the whole room up Neil, we're raising every cup Nobody else could do it this way That's the real deal

  Bridge

  Another year, another candle to steal Another reason to shout and to reel Here's to you, plain and true Here's to however you feel

  Chorus

  Neil, you light the whole room up Neil, we're raising every cup Nobody else could do it this way That's the real deal

  Outro

  Glass still fogged but we can see Exactly who we came to be with
