I used to know you when we were young
You were in all my dreams.
We sat together in Period One
Fridays at 8:15.
Now I see your face in the strangest places
Movies and magazines.
I saw you talking to Christopher Walken on my TV screen.
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.
I used to work in a record store
Now I work for my dad.
Scraping the paint off the hardwood 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.
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.
If you ever get back to Hackensack
I’ll be here for you.
