  Verse 1

  Flour dust settling on the boards Three cartons standing nearly dry We made this mess because of you Nobody here would question why

  Pre-chorus

  Every year we clear the table Light the candles, hush the noise Get ready now, here comes the best part

  Chorus

  Preston, come and take your seat Best day the calendar has got We baked it rough and stacked it tall Preston, blow it out while it's hot

  Verse 2

  You leave a trail wherever you go Spoons and laughter, cups and cheer We wouldn't tidy up too quick We like the proof that you were here

  Bridge

  Sack of flour, heavy and white Empty cartons, drained tonight That's the cost of loving you Worth every mess we're standing in

  Chorus

  Preston, come and take your seat Best day the calendar has got We baked it rough and stacked it tall Preston, blow it out while it's hot

  Outro

  Someday we'll sweep the flour away But we'll keep loving you this way

  Verse 1

  Boxes sliding on the back seat Corner comes and grabs our feet You just laugh and grip the door We would drive like this for more

  Pre-chorus

  Every turn we take too fast Feels like something built to last So hold on, here it comes

  Chorus

  Preston, Preston, light the candles now Nobody else can fill a room somehow Preston, we're shouting out your name You make the ordinary feel like a game

  Verse 2

  Dinner sliding, sauce on the floor We laughed so hard we missed the door You called it out, you called it right Best wrong turn we took all night

  Chorus

  Preston, Preston, light the candles now Nobody else can fill a room somehow Preston, we're shouting out your name You make the ordinary feel like a game

  Bridge

  Here's to the mess and the mad little turns Here's to the year that you fully earned Whatever tips over, whatever falls out You turn it to laughter without any doubt

  Chorus

  Preston, Preston, light the candles now Nobody else can fill a room somehow Preston, we're shouting out your name You make the ordinary feel like a game

  Outro

  Boxes still shifting on the back seat You're still the reason the whole ride's sweet

  Verse 1

  Bikes lined up along the wire waiting for somebody to fire a shout that gets the whole yard moving you're the spark that lights the tyre

  Pre-chorus

  We've been circling round this morning counting down and gently warning something's coming, get you ready

  Chorus

  Preston, everybody's calling this the day we've been installing cake and noise and all our favourites Preston, watch the candles falling

  Verse 2

  Handlebars all click together like they're cheering, come what weather you're the one who set them spinning nothing here could hold you tethered

  Chorus

  Preston, everybody's calling this the day we've been installing cake and noise and all our favourites Preston, watch the candles falling

  Bridge

  Another year, another gear you're pedalling straight past the fear we're right behind you, wheels are turning this whole street showed up to cheer

  Chorus

  Preston, everybody's calling this the day we've been installing cake and noise and all our favourites Preston, watch the candles falling

  Outro

  Bikes still humming by the wire you're the flame we gather nearer
