[Verse 1]
Woke up
It’s your day
Coffee cup
Crooked birthday cake
Old photos on the fridge
We’ve come a long way
You in my old shoes
Laughing ’til the whole room shook
Every scar
Every inside joke
I still see that kid
[Chorus]
Twenty-one candles
One little wish
Turn the page
Lean into it
You’re the storm and the steady hand
You’re the map and the wild new land
Twenty-one candles
Glowing bright
Make ’em count
Don’t apologize
I’ll be right here when the world feels too much
Happy birthday
My sister
My crush of luck
[Verse 2]
Keys in your hand now
Whole world in the rearview glass
You ask if you’re ready
You’ve been ready for years
Keep that crooked grin
Call me when the sky feels thin
Every win
Every broken plan
I’m your biggest fan
[Chorus]
Twenty-one candles
One little wish
Turn the page
Lean into it
You’re the storm and the steady hand
You’re the map and the wild new land
Twenty-one candles
Glowing bright
Make ’em count
Don’t apologize
I’ll be right here when the world feels too much
Happy birthday
My sister
My crush of luck
[Bridge]
So take your time
Take your chances
Dance on tables
Change your plans
If you fall
You know the landing
Is right here
In my hands (oh)
[Chorus]
Twenty-one candles
One little wish
Turn the page
Lean into it
You’re the storm and the steady hand
You’re the map and the wild new land
Twenty-one candles
Shining on
Little girl and a woman strong
I’ll be right here when the noise is too much
Happy birthday
My sister
My greatest luck
