Hackensack Lyrics
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 talkin'
to Christopher Walken
on my T.V. screen
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
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 end up these days
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
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
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 talkin'
to Christopher Walken
on my T.V. screen
As long as I need to
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you
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 end up these days
As long as I need to
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you
As long as I need to
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you

It's about growing up with someone and never forgetting them. It's basically saying, if you ever need me, I'll be here for you.
I just need to know what Hackensack is. :|
This is actually a cover of a Fountains of Wayne song. Hackensack is a city in New Jersey.
This is actually a cover of a Fountains of Wayne song. Hackensack is a city in New Jersey.
This song is saying that whenever you get back to your home town I'll be there for you. She probably was the best friend and he moved on to biger and better things and she was stuck in that town. She saying whenever you get back home I'll be waiting.
