I used to know you when we were young, you were in all my dreams
We sat together in period one, Friday's at 8:15
Now I see your face in the strangest places, movies and magazines
I saw you talkin' 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, but now I work for my dad
Scraping the paint of hardwood floors, the hours are pretty bad
Sometimes I wonder where you are, probably in L.A.
Cause that seems to be where everybody else ends up these days
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
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
