Hackensack Memories: Longing and Patience in the City of Dreams
Lyrics
I used to know you when we were young
I had a connection with you when we were young.
You were in all my dreams
You were a significant part of my dreams during that time.
We sat together in Period One
We shared a class together, specifically in Period One.
Fridays at 8:15
We spent Fridays at 8:15 together.
Now I see your face in the strangest places
Now, I unexpectedly encounter your image in unusual places.
Movies and magazines
Your presence appears in movies and magazines.
I saw you talking to Christopher Walken
I observed you in conversation with Christopher Walken on my TV screen.
On my TV screen
Christopher Walken may be a symbol or a representation of the entertainment industry.
But I will wait for you
I am willing to wait for you.
As long as I need to
I am committed to waiting for you for as long as necessary.
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
If you return to Hackensack, I'll be here for you.
I'll be here for you
I will remain supportive and present for you.
I used to work in a record store
I used to be employed in a record store.
Now I work for my dad
Now, I work for my father.
Scraping the paint off the hardwood floors
My current job involves scraping paint off hardwood floors, and the hours are challenging.
The hours are pretty bad
The working hours are not favorable.
Sometimes I wonder where you are
I sometimes contemplate your whereabouts.
Probably in L.A.
You might be in Los Angeles (L.A.).
That seems to be where
L.A. seems to be the destination for many people nowadays.
Everybody else ends up these days
(No specific information provided in the lyrics for this line)
But I will wait for you
I am committed to waiting for you.
As long as I need to
I am dedicated to waiting for you for as long as needed.
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
If you return to Hackensack, I'll be here for you.
I'll be here for you
I will remain supportive and present for you.
And I will wait for you
I am willing to wait for you.
As long as I need to
I am committed to waiting for you for as long as necessary.
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
If you return to Hackensack, I'll be here for you.
I'll be here for you
I will remain supportive and present for you.
If you ever get back to Hackensack
If you ever return to Hackensack, I'll be here for you.
I'll be here for you
I will remain supportive and present for you if you come back to Hackensack.
