Songs for Theo

Verse 1

Boots lined up crooked on the floor Rolled up the mat you tracked right through Nobody minds the mess you made This house was always missing you

Pre-chorus

Grab a chair and pull it in Somebody pour the cider round We been counting down all week

Chorus

Theo, Theo, light the room up Everybody clap your hands Cake's on the table candles burning Theo, here's to who you are

Verse 2

You bring the noise where it was quiet Laughing loud enough for two Every mess you leave behind Just means we got to spend with you

Chorus

Theo, Theo, light the room up Everybody clap your hands Cake's on the table candles burning Theo, here's to who you are

Bridge

Another year of you round here Stomp your feet and shout it loud We'll sing it till the walls shake down Glad you're standing in this crowd

Chorus

Theo, Theo, light the room up Everybody clap your hands Cake's on the table candles burning Theo, here's to who you are

Outro

Leave your boots right by the door We'll keep the light on evermore

Verse 1

Old mugs shake when you come through the door Every cup starts to sway Formica counter's rattling more Since you walked in today

Chorus

Theo, Theo, light the candle now Grab a mug and raise it high Nobody sings quite this loud Except for you and Theo, Theo, my

Verse 2

You bang the counter, keep the beat Laughing till the dishes ring Even the chipped ones feel complete When you're the one they cling

Pre-chorus

Something in the kitchen's stirring Something we can't hide We've got the cake, we've got the cupboard Waiting on the tide

Chorus

Theo, Theo, light the candle now Grab a mug and raise it high Nobody sings quite this loud Except for you and Theo, Theo, my

Bridge

You've got a way of shaking loose Every quiet thing we own Even the mugs won't sit and rest When you're not alone

Chorus

Theo, Theo, light the candle now Grab a mug and raise it high Nobody sings quite this loud Except for you and Theo, Theo, my

Outro

Long after the party's through Those mugs will still shake for you

Verse 1

Old fence, torn and grey Plastic strips still play Catching wind, catching light Just like you catch a room tonight

Chorus

Theo, Theo, light up the floor Every birthday you give us more Theo, we're calling out your name Dancing round you like a flame

Verse 2

Something battered turns to gold When you walk past, watch it unfold You make tired things feel new That's the kind of magic in you

Pre-chorus

Hands up, count it down Feel the love fill up the town Here's the moment we've been chasing

Chorus

Theo, Theo, light up the floor Every birthday you give us more Theo, we're calling out your name Dancing round you like a flame

Bridge

Every year you shine a little brighter Every room feels just a little lighter We don't need a reason to celebrate you One more year, one more reason too

Chorus

Theo, Theo, light up the floor Every birthday you give us more Theo, we're calling out your name Dancing round you like a flame

Outro

Yellow flags still fly for you Torn but bright, forever true
