Birthday Songs for Xavier

Verse 1

Cars go drifting past the window orange light across the hallway fog is climbing up the mirror but your name still steals the show

Pre-chorus

Every year you come back brighter every room feels somehow lighter so we're lifting up our voices

Chorus

Xavier, the room was waiting this whole night we're celebrating you don't need a grand entrance you just walk in, and it's blazing

Verse 2

Candle smoke curls round the ceiling voices warm with love and feeling you laugh loud, the windows rattle nothing here is ever dealing

Bridge

Here's to all the years behind you here's to all we still will find however hard the road gets windy you shine through, right on time

Chorus

Xavier, the room was waiting this whole night we're celebrating you don't need a grand entrance you just walk in, and it's blazing

Outro

Fog clears slow across the glass your light stays after we're gone

Verse 1

Stuck in traffic, glass gone grey watching raindrops start to chase every drop was built to stray but you find your own pace

Chorus

Xavier, the whole room's calling light a candle, watch it flare every year still finds you standing Xavier, we're glad you're here

Verse 2

One drop wins and one falls slow neither one gets there first you don't need the fastest road you just meet us at our best

Pre-chorus

So let the traffic hold a while let the whole world idle too tonight we're only here for you

Chorus

Xavier, the whole room's calling light a candle, watch it flare every year still finds you standing Xavier, we're glad you're here

Bridge

However slow the year came through however far the roads ran wide you made it here, and that's the truth and that's the only thing we prize

Chorus

Xavier, the whole room's calling light a candle, watch it flare every year still finds you standing Xavier, we're glad you're here

Outro

Rain still races down the glass but you're the one who made it last

Verse 1

Wind is pulling at the sand Packets tumble, empty, bland Skies are heavy, low and flat But you turn the whole thing back

Pre-chorus

I feel it building, sharp and true Every year I'm glad it's you So let the count come round to

Chorus

Xavier, you light the grey up Every year we raise a shout Xavier, nobody's braver You're the one this day's about

Verse 2

Litter dances on the shore We don't need it any more Cake and candles, warm and small You're the reason for it all

Pre-chorus

I feel it building, sharp and true Every year I'm glad it's you So let the count come round to

Chorus

Xavier, you light the grey up Every year we raise a shout Xavier, nobody's braver You're the one this day's about

Bridge

Clouds can keep their heavy skies We've got sparklers in our eyes Nothing dull gets near to you Not today, we won't allow it

Chorus

Xavier, you light the grey up Every year we raise a shout Xavier, nobody's braver You're the one this day's about

Outro

Let the packets blow on by You're the brightness in our sky
