"Hackensack" lyrics - KATY PERRY

KATY PERRY
"Hackensack"
(Chris Collingwood / Adam Schlesinger)

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
Yeah, 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

I used to work at the record store
Now I work for my dad
Scraping the paint off of 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 ends up these days

[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, yeah

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus:]
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, yeah

[Outro:]
Thank you, thank you
