Birthday Songs for Philip

Verse 1

Watching the world go round and round behind the glass, you catch the light you turn up and you own the sound you make the dullest room feel bright

Pre-chorus

Something's spinning up inside my chest you walk in and you fill the room get ready, here it comes, don't rest

Chorus

Philip, Philip, take a bow tonight you make the whole room want to skip spinning round us like a coloured light we're raising glasses, Philip, chip by chip

Verse 2

You never needed all the fuss but here we are, we've got the floor you turn a Tuesday into us you make a birthday feel like more

Bridge

Round and round, the good times churn you're the reason we all turn every year we love you deeper still

Chorus

Philip, Philip, take a bow tonight you make the whole room want to skip spinning round us like a coloured light we're raising glasses, Philip, chip by chip

Outro

Behind the glass, the colours blur we're glad the world spun you to us

Verse 1

Wind gets in through the trailer door Napkins lift right off the floor You just laugh and let them fly Nothing rattles that easy smile

Pre-chorus

Someone's pouring, someone's late Candles waiting on your plate Hold that breath, the room's about to sing

Chorus

Philip, here's to another year Grab your cup and hold it near Every table feels like home Philip, you're the reason we're not alone

Verse 2

Vinyl seats are cracked and warm You tell the same joke, we don't mind Paper napkins catch the light Somehow this is the perfect night

Bridge

We've squeezed in tight, we've pulled up chairs Nobody minds, nobody's counting years This tiny trailer feels like more Because you're the one we're cheering for

Chorus

Philip, here's to another year Grab your cup and hold it near Every table feels like home Philip, you're the reason we're not alone

Outro

Let the napkins drift and fall We'll remember this best of all

Verse 1

Old brass taps drip in the corner Trough below the dartboard's grip We're not here for the weather We came to raise a toast to Philip

Chorus

Philip, Philip, fill up the glasses Two good reasons that we're here You and every year that passes Philip, you're the one we cheer

Verse 2

You've got a laugh that fills a room Steady hand and a crooked grin Every dart you throw's a mystery But we always let you win

Pre-chorus

So pull a chair up closer Let the fiddle catch the beat Something's coming round the corner

Chorus

Philip, Philip, fill up the glasses Two good reasons that we're here You and every year that passes Philip, you're the one we cheer

Bridge

Here's to the way you make it easy Here's to the ones who love you true Every year that trough keeps filling Same as we keep filling up for you

Chorus

Philip, Philip, fill up the glasses Two good reasons that we're here You and every year that passes Philip, you're the one we cheer

Outro

Taps keep dripping, glasses clinking Here's to you, and here's to Philip
