Birthday Songs for Tracey

Verse 1

Boxes stacked against the wire Tyres are humming with desire Nobody told them what to do They just started spinning for you

Pre-chorus

Count the candles, feel the pull Every quiet street gets full Something's turning, here it comes

Chorus

Tracey, light the whole block up Pour the sparkle in the cup Two of us or twenty here Tracey, we're so glad you're near

Verse 2

Fence line rattling in the wind Every wheel wants to begin You could ride off, but you stay Turning strangers into your day

Chorus

Tracey, light the whole block up Pour the sparkle in the cup Two of us or twenty here Tracey, we're so glad you're near

Bridge

Spin the pedals, spin the year Every lap brings you back here We're not moving, we're just glad You're the best thing that we've had

Chorus

Tracey, light the whole block up Pour the sparkle in the cup Two of us or twenty here Tracey, we're so glad you're near

Outro

Boxes empty, tyres set free That's the shape of what you give me

Verse 1

Sugar spilled across the board three brown eggs cracked in a row somebody's baking up a fuss because it's your day, don't you know

Pre-chorus

Get the candles, get them lit light up the whole room bright we've got one name to holler out

Chorus

Tracey, kick your shoes off now grab a spoon, we're calling you gracey dance around this messy kitchen two whole hands clapping for Tracey

Verse 2

Flour dust up on your sleeve icing dripping down the wall you laugh so loud the windows shake best mess that we've made all year

Pre-chorus

Get the candles, get them lit light up the whole room bright we've got one name to holler out

Chorus

Tracey, kick your shoes off now grab a spoon, we're calling you gracey dance around this messy kitchen two whole hands clapping for Tracey

Bridge

Every year we make this racket just to watch you grin like that one more year of loving you loud that's a fact we're proud to pack

Chorus

Tracey, kick your shoes off now grab a spoon, we're calling you gracey dance around this messy kitchen two whole hands clapping for Tracey

Outro

Sugar still stuck on the board sweetest mess we know by heart

Verse 1

Yellow suitcases line the wall Waiting for the platform call You always leave and still stand tall We watch you go, we watch it all

Pre-chorus

The board above keeps flickering names Every journey has its aims But one thing never rearranges

Chorus

Tracey, wherever the train goes However far you travel on Tracey, everybody here still knows This is where you started from

Verse 2

You pack it light, you pack it fast Never one to make things last But we hold on to what you cast Back at us before you passed

Chorus

Tracey, wherever the train goes However far you travel on Tracey, everybody here still knows This is where you started from

Bridge

Blow out the candles, make the wish However far, however this You're still the one this room adores

Chorus

Tracey, wherever the train goes However far you travel on Tracey, everybody here still knows This is where you started from

Outro

The suitcases can wait one more year Happy birthday, Tracey, we're glad you're here
