“This song is about a guy reminiscing over a girl he knew in his youth – a girl who has since grown up, moved to LA and become famous. The guy still loves the girl and hopes that she may one day return to Hackensack, a city in New Jersey, and to him.

[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
I saw you talking 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 the 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
[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
[Bridge]
[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
If you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you
