Sam's Friends

[Verse 1] We found a photograph from when your fringe obscured your eyes, You swore you'd start a famous band and live on chips and fries. The band got through one practice, but the friendships found their feet, Now twenty years of group chats are all standing in your street. [Chorus] Forty and loud, turn the kitchen speakers higher, You've got candles on a cake and a heart still full of fire. There's more living left, so let the whole room hear, Here's to everything you've been and everything you're starting here. [Verse 2] You've learned to make a proper meal and sometimes go to bed, But still invent a dance move nobody can comprehend. You've held us through the hard bits and remembered every date, The babysitter's booked all night; nobody is leaving early. [Bridge] You said you might learn surfing, you might take that course in June, We said we'd bring the sandwiches and cheer you from the dunes. The map is still unfolding; there are roads we've never tried, And every time you take one, you've got people on your side. [Chorus] Forty and loud, turn the kitchen speakers higher, You've got candles on a cake and a heart still full of fire. There's more living left, so let the whole room hear, Here's to everything you've been and everything you're starting here.
