Pushing 30

[Verse 1] You'll be the guy, sixty-six in the corner of the bar So convinced you were born to be a star Zero irony You'll be the guy who says, "What's so wrong Walking down the aisle to your own song?" Flirting with the girl from catering, freshly nineteen Who just wants to get paid [Pre-Chorus] It's kind of charming when you're a sophomore Now it's alarming that you're getting off on [Chorus] Pulling strings, destroying things They're always from New Jersey It was okay in your college days But now you're pushing thirty The only way we'll speak Is through a lawyer or attorney It gets creepy, sorta seedy When you're full of shit and pushing thirty Pushing thirty [Verse 2] You'll be thе dad who went out for milk and never wеnt back You don't get what's so bad about that You still think about them every single birthday The world is so cruel it tears you apart The world is unfair to men with guitars It's just so fucking hard [Chorus] Pulling strings, destroying things They're always from New Jersey It was okay in your college days But now you're pushing thirty The only way we'll speak Is through a lawyer or attorney It gets creepy, sorta seedy When you're full of shit and pushing thirty Pushing thirty [Bridge] It's been a decade, a couple elections You're still getting laid from the same chord progression You never cared, you're just chasing attention Clearer I'm seeing, the older you're getting The more that I notice, the less that I'm losing 'Cause thirty's a milestone, but all you'll be doing's [Chorus] Pulling strings, destroying things The crown jewel New Jersey It was okay in your college days But now you're pushing thirty (Now you're, now you're, now you're pushing) The only way we'll speak Is through a lawyer or attorney It gets creepy, sorta seedy When you're full of shit and pushing thirty Pushing thirty Pushing thirty
