  Verse 1

  The sprinkler turns on the clipped green lawn Three empty cups tipped on their side We gathered here since early dawn Because you make this day worth the ride

  Pre-chorus

  Something in the air is building now Feet are itching, hands are free We're leaning in to shout

  Chorus

  Paul, the water's spinning round for you Everybody here would break their fall Paul, we mean each word we say is true Nobody fills a room like Paul

  Verse 2

  Someone knocked a cup right off the chair Nobody minds, we're having fun You laughed so loud it filled the air And made the whole day feel like one

  Pre-chorus

  Something in the air is building now Feet are itching, hands are free We're leaning in to shout

  Chorus

  Paul, the water's spinning round for you Everybody here would break their fall Paul, we mean each word we say is true Nobody fills a room like Paul

  Bridge

  Raise your cup up, plastic or not Here's to the one who lights the yard You're the warmest thing we've got

  Chorus

  Paul, the water's spinning round for you Everybody here would break their fall Paul, we mean each word we say is true Nobody fills a room like Paul

  Outro

  The sprinkler slows on the clipped green lawn We'll all remember this one, Paul

  Verse 1

  Sugar is dripping down slow Kitchen's got nowhere to go You walk in and light up the hall Every voice here waits for your call

  Pre-chorus

  Steam on the window is rising Table can't hide what it's hiding We're all here holding our breath for you

  Chorus

  Paul, you're the sweetest thing here tonight Sticky and warm in the candlelight We're raising our cups, we're raising it all Nobody else could fill up this hall

  Verse 2

  Icing runs down like it knows How much love in this room grows You laugh and the whole table cheers Nobody's counting up all your years

  Bridge

  Every candle bends toward your name Every glass gets fogged just the same We're not here for the bread on the tray We're here because you made this our day

  Chorus

  Paul, you're the sweetest thing here tonight Sticky and warm in the candlelight We're raising our cups, we're raising it all Nobody else could fill up this hall

  Outro

  Glass still wet where our hands pressed through Every mark on it points to you

  Verse 1

  You dive in and the party starts Every light in here catches sparks Floaties drifting wherever they please You're the one who runs this show

  Chorus

  Paul, we're kicking off the night for you Ripples spreading out like something new Nobody else could light a room this way Paul, this whole floor moves for you

  Verse 2

  Ladder rungs are shining under blue Climb up high and take your call You make simple moments feel this good Watch the whole crowd rise and fall

  Pre-chorus

  Feel that bassline climbing up the wall Hear the room already start to call Get ready, here it comes for you

  Chorus

  Paul, we're kicking off the night for you Ripples spreading out like something new Nobody else could light a room this way Paul, this whole floor moves for you

  Bridge

  Water settling, then bright again Some things scatter, you remain However far the floaties drift We keep circling back to you

  Chorus

  Paul, we're kicking off the night for you Ripples spreading out like something new Nobody else could light a room this way Paul, this whole floor moves for you

  Outro

  Water settles, calm and blue We're glad tonight belongs to you
