Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to know you when we were young
You were in all my dreams
We sat together in period one Friday's at eight fifteen
Now I see face in the strangest places
Movies and magazines
I saw you talking to Christopher Walken
On my TV screen
[Verse 2]
I will wait for you
As long as I need to
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you
[Verse 3]
I used to work at the record store
Now I work for my dad
Scraping the paint off the hard wood floors
The hours are pretty bad
Sometimes I wonder where you are
Probably in L.A.
That seems to be where everybody else ends up these days
[Verse 4]
And I will wait for you
As long as I need to
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you
[Verse 5]
I will wait for you
As long as I need to
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you, yeah
