[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 8:15
Now I see your face in the strangest places
Movies and magazines
Yeah, I saw you talking to Christopher Walken
On my TV screen

[Chorus]
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 at the 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

[Chorus]
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, yeah
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
(Ooh, ah, hey)
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

[Outro]
Thank you, thank you
