Songs for Sage

Verse 1

Red floats bob on the water Chlorine steam under bright light You dive in without a wonder Every candle burns for you tonight

Chorus

Sage, you light the whole stage Every year you turn the page We all cheer, we all engage Sage, Sage, you're worth the wage

Verse 2

You splash through like nothing's heavy Laughing loud past the lane line We're glad you're here to steady This whole room, this whole good time

Pre-chorus

Count the candles, make the wish Feel the warmth that we all bring One more year we don't want to miss

Chorus

Sage, you light the whole stage Every year you turn the page We all cheer, we all engage Sage, Sage, you're worth the wage

Bridge

Blow it out, let the smoke rise We'll be singing till it's gone Under all these bright pool lights You're the reason we carry on

Chorus

Sage, you light the whole stage Every year you turn the page We all cheer, we all engage Sage, Sage, you're worth the wage

Outro

Floats still bob on the water Sage, we're glad you're here

Verse 1

You walked in and the door shook glass Tins of peaches rattled as you passed Nobody else could turn a room like that Every year that you're here feels like a stage

Chorus

Sage, the candles wait for you Happy birthday, we mean it, it's true Another year, and you're still our favourite thing Sage, we're glad you came

Verse 2

Dust on the glass, but you shine right through Ordinary places turn golden with you Even the tinned peaches seem to hold their breath You make the quiet feel like it's home

Pre-chorus

We could list all the reasons why But it's simpler than that, if we try You're the one we were waiting for tonight

Chorus

Sage, the candles wait for you Happy birthday, we mean it, it's true Another year, and you're still our favourite thing Sage, we're glad you came

Bridge

Doors keep opening, closing, and shaking Years keep turning, the cake keeps baking Whatever comes, you're worth the noise Worth every candle we light

Chorus

Sage, the candles wait for you Happy birthday, we mean it, it's true Another year, and you're still our favourite thing Sage, we're glad you came

Outro

Let the door shake, let the glass ring Sage, you're the best thing this year brings

Verse 1

Chairs scrape back across the floor Somebody's propping open the door That crooked hoop still hangs up there But nobody's looking, all eyes are on you

Pre-chorus

Horns are warming, feet start to slide Room's gone electric, can't wait to collide Into the sound that's about to be true

Chorus

Sage, you light up this whole place Nobody else could fill up this space Sage, we're calling out your name Tonight the room is yours to claim

Verse 2

Floorboards shine under all this noise Old friends clapping, laughing like old times That hoop still crooked, nobody cares We came for you, we're all still here

Chorus

Sage, you light up this whole place Nobody else could fill up this space Sage, we're calling out your name Tonight the room is yours to claim

Bridge

Let the trumpets holler, let the drums keep time Every single year of you deserves this rhyme However far you go, whatever you become This room will still remember where you're from

Chorus

Sage, you light up this whole place Nobody else could fill up this space Sage, we're calling out your name Tonight the room is yours to claim

Outro

Chairs will fold and lights will dim But this floor still remembers him... no, remembers you
