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
