Intro: (2x) Verse 1 I used to know you when you were young You were in all my dreams   We sat together in period one Fridays at eight-fifteen 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 Interlude: Verse 2 I used to work in a record store Now I work for my dad Scraping the paint of the hardwood floors The hours are pretty bad Sometimes I wonder where you are now Probably in LA 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 Interlude: /u> 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 if you ever get back to Hackensack I’ll be here for you Outro:

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque des souvenirs d'une connexion passée entre deux personnes qui ont grandi ensemble. L’artiste se remémore des moments partagés à l'école et exprime son attachement, indiquant qu'il est prêt à attendre le retour de l'autre malgré la distance et le temps qui passent. Alors que sa vie a changé, passant d'un magasin de disques à travailler pour sa famille, il reste nostalgique et espère toujours croiser cette personne dans sa ville natale, Hackensack. Le thème central est celui de l'attente et de l'espoir de retrouvailles, même à travers les aléas de la vie.
