VERSE 1:
I used to know you - when we were young
You were in all my dreams
We sat together - in period one
Fridays at eight fifteen

Now I see your face in - the strangest places
Movies and magazines
I saw you talkin - to Christopher Walken
On my TV screen

CHORUS:
But 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 2:
I used to work in - a record store
Now I work for my dad
Scraping the paint off - of hardwood floors
The hours are pretty bad

Sometimes I wonder - where you are
Probably in LA
That seems to be where - everybody
Else ends up these days

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE]

[REPEAT CHORUS]

OUTRO:
If you ever get back to - Hackensack
I’ll be here for you
