Candy Corn
[Verse 1] Every little ghost gets a little more haunting Every little moon gets a little more pumpkin Every little star is a little more magic Every little bone is a little more rattlin’ And every little mummy gets a little more unwrapping Every little witch is a little more cacklin’ Every little spirit gets a little more disappearing Every little bat feels a little more eerie --- [Chorus] And the world feels a little bit lighter October ’94 Where the air’s just a little bit brighter And the colors were so much more I was runnin’ with all of my monsters And we were dancin’ through the dark Like I’m back with my cousins on the floor At my great grandma’s Eatin’ candy corn --- [Verse 2] Every little hand gets a little more handy Every little hook gets a little more candy Every little broom gets a little more zoomin’ Every little tune gets a little more croonin’ Every little candle gets a little more lighting Every little wolf gets a little more biting Every little ghoul is a little more frightening Every little moon keeps on rising --- [Chorus] And the world feels a little bit lighter October ’94 Where the air’s just a little bit brighter And the colors were so much more I was runnin’ with all of my monsters And we were dancin’ through the dark Like I’m back with my cousins on the floor At my great grandma’s Eatin’ candy corn --- [Bridge] (soft, cinematic, nostalgic) There were ghosts in the TV glow Faces in the glass We were heroes in pajamas Never knew the night would pass Candy wrappers on the carpet Echoes on the stairs Now the laughter sounds like static But I still feel you there --- [Breakdown] (starts intimate, builds to catharsis) Pumpkin light in the window hums Heartbeats drum to the sound of “run” Half-asleep, half-grown Still tryna find my way back home Through the fog and the flashing porch lights Through the years that blur like headlights All those ghosts I used to fear Now I just wish they’d reappear --- [Final Chorus] And the world feels a little bit lighter October ’94 Where the air’s just a little bit brighter But I don’t live there anymore Still I’m runnin’ with all of my monsters Through the echoes of the dark Like I’m back with my cousins on the floor At my great grandma’s Eatin’ candy corn Yeah, forevermore October ’94 [Outro – whispered/fading] Every little ghost gets a little more haunting… Every little heart gets a little more wanting…
