Happy Birthday, Ashley

Intro

Steam, a towel, your laugh in San Francisco

Oh-oh, yeah, oh

Verse

We met where the air was warm and honest

Sauna glow, you smiled, and the world got smaller

You in a dress that killed me quiet, shoes that said you mean it

Bought your first band's tee, now the closet's a concert

You taste the menu like it's a story — mmm, yeah

Always plotting a trip: Paris window, New York corner

You move like a runway when you cross a kitchen floor

I turn the music up — you turn my whole world more

Pre-chorus

Rowan tearing through the morning, (go, go)

Harper reading like she's thirteen and wise at nine (whoa)

We stitch our little chaos into bright designs

And you laugh — ooh — like a secret I still want to find

Chorus

Happy birthday, Ashley, thirty-seven, make a wish (make a wish)

Blow those candles, blow 'em twice, yeah, let the fire-ish kiss (ooh)

You keep it stylish in your sneakers and your heels (heels)

You keep my stubborn heart in the sweetest kinds of thrill (sweet thrill)

Happy birthday, Ashley, thirty-seven, make a wish (make a wish)

Blow those candles, blow 'em twice, yeah, let the fire-ish kiss

Verse

You buy the merch like trophies, concert tees and ticket stubs

We map weekends to museums, late dinners, secret clubs

You teach Harper bigger words and steal Rowan’s chaos grin

You fold the city into our arms and call the nights a win

Passport stamps, a suitcase full of thrifted shoes and lipstick

You bring me home to tiny hands and breakfast pancake politics

Pre-chorus

Rowan’s wild like summer lightning, (ha!)

Harper’s brain already plotting novels at the table (uh-huh)

We laugh through spilled cereal, we dance through bedtime fables

And you say my name like I’m the only one who’s able

Chorus

Happy birthday, Ashley, thirty-seven, make a wish (make a wish)

Blow those candles, blow 'em twice, yeah, let the fire-ish kiss (oh-oh)

You keep it stylish in your sneakers and your heels (heels)

You keep my stubborn heart in the sweetest kinds of thrill (sweet thrill)

Happy birthday, Ashley, thirty-seven, make a wish (make a wish)

Blow those candles, blow 'em twice, yeah, let the fire-ish kiss

Bridge

From a steamed-up bench in San Francisco to a suitcase by the door

From concert tees to midnight feasts, I keep wanting more and more

Paris mornings, New York nights, you wear those cities like a ring

Rowan running, Harper plotting — you give us everything

La-la-la, ah-ah, yeah-yeah, (yeah)

Chorus

Happy birthday, Ashley, thirty-seven, make a wish (make a wish)

Blow those candles, blow 'em twice, yeah, let the fire-ish kiss (let it)

You keep it stylish in your sneakers and your heels (in your heels)

You keep my stubborn heart in the sweetest kinds of thrill (sweet thrill)

Happy birthday, Ashley, thirty-seven, make a wish (make a wish)

Blow those candles, blow 'em twice, yeah, let the fire-ish kiss

Outro

Oh-oh, Ashley — (Ashley)
