Lyrics
I used to know you when we were young
I had acquaintance with you during our youth.
You were in all my dreams
You were a recurring figure in my dreams.
We sat together in Period One
We shared a class together in the first period.
Fridays at 8:15
We used to meet on Fridays at 8:15.
Now I see your face in the strangest places
Now I encounter your image unexpectedly in various places.
Movies and magazines
Your presence is visible in movies and magazines.
I saw you talking to Christopher Walken

But I will wait for you
Expresses a commitment to wait for the person.
As long as I need to
Emphasizes the enduring nature of the commitment.
If you ever get back to Hackensack

Now I work for my dad
Currently, the speaker works for their dad.
Scraping the paint off the hardwood floors
Describes a mundane job of scraping paint off hardwood floors.
The hours are pretty bad
Acknowledges the challenging working hours.
Sometimes I wonder where you are
The speaker wonders about the current whereabouts of the person.
Probably in L.A.
Suggests the possibility of the person being in Los Angeles (L.A.).
That seems to be where
Observes that many people end up in L.A. these days.
Everybody else ends up these days
Continuation of the observation about L.A.
But I will wait for you
Repeats the commitment to wait for the person.
As long as I need to
Reiterates the enduring nature of the commitment.
If you ever get back to Hackensack
If the person returns to Hackensack, the speaker will be there for them.

And if you ever get back to Hackensack
If the person ever returns to Hackensack, the speaker will be there for them.
I'll be here for you
Reiterates the speaker's availability and loyalty.
