Surprise In The Kitchen

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You texted "Be ready at seven" Said "Wear something you can spill cake on" Thought it was dinner Just you and me Just another quiet night Nothing going on [Pre-Chorus] Then the door cracked Lights black Heart loud "You okay?" you ask I step in Hear you grin Every shadow feels like it's about to laugh [Chorus] Everybody jumps out Yelling my name "Happy birthday!" in a messy frame Streamers hanging sideways Someone hits play And my whole year changes in a single day Faces I love packed into this room Confetti in my hair Frosting on my shoes I didn't see it coming But I'm glad that I was wrong This surprise in the kitchen feels like home [Verse 2] Pizza boxes stacked on the counter My old school photo taped to the wall You saved that hoodie that I thought I'd lost Passed around like a trophy Making them howl [Pre-Chorus] Inside jokes Bad jokes Paper plates Tilted crowns and cloaks You light up That small cake Wax dripping while my hands still shake [Chorus] Everybody jumps out Yelling my name "Happy birthday!" in a messy frame Streamers hanging sideways Someone hits play And my whole year changes in a single day Faces I love packed into this room Confetti in my hair Frosting on my shoes I didn't see it coming But I'm glad that I was wrong This surprise in the kitchen feels like home [Bridge] Make a wish But don't say it (shh) I just breathe you all in If every year Ends up like this Let the candles burn again (oh) [Chorus] Everybody jumps out Yelling my name "Happy birthday!" in a messy frame Off-key singing louder than the song they play And my whole year changes in a single day Faces I love packed into this room Laughter in the hallway Glitter on the broom I didn't see it coming But I'm glad that I was wrong This surprise in the kitchen feels like home
