[Verse 1]

Can't stop all the rock

Can't dribble, got a weak jump shot

Every blink was a whole new trip

Broke as shit and came too quick

Crystal ball on discount

The past became a whisper and got drowned out


[Verse 2]

Handprints in the cement

By the Dairy Queen where we would sit

Heart framed two names

What happened to Bob and Jane?

Coke and rum and bubble gum

Playing with my cousin's gun

Silly string and plastic fangs

Made out in the Burger King


[Chorus]

Candy corn and kerosene on Halloween and

Nicotine and jelly beans and wet dreams, oh

Thirty seemed elderly

Oh, the agony of aging

Oh, the agony of aging


[Verse 3]

Clicking past old photographs

Digital red eye flash

Zippo that I stole

Wanted to feel in control

Flailing fists in the mosh pit

The future swings and splits your lip

Heart framed two names

What happened to Bob and Jane?


[Chorus]

Candy corn and kerosene on Halloween and

Nicotine and jelly beans and wet dreams, oh

Thirty seemed elderly

Oh, the agony of aging

Oh, the agony of aging


[Bridge]

Well, I'm a sucker for your sweet talk

Teach me how to moonwalk in your living room

We could talk for hours

Just two little flowers in bloom


[Refrain]

Can't stop all the rock

Can't dribble, got a weak jump shot

Can't stop all the rock

Can't dribble, got a weak jump shot

Can't stop all the rock

Can't dribble, got a weak jump shot


[Chorus]

Candy corn and kerosene on Halloween and

Nicotine and jelly beans and wet dreams, oh

Thirty seemed elderly

Oh, the agony of aging

Oh, the agony of aging

Oh, the agony of aging
