garden state

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 'Round the corner From your favorite place There's a house I lived For seven thousand days On occasion We were placed in beds If one of us would move Away and just forget I tried to play it cool But only you could see I knew it would be me [Chorus] When you come home Who will you know? Maybe I should stay It could turn out okay You won't be so scared Once you get there Wasn't a mistake Leaving the Garden State Leaving the Garden State [Verse 2] We were cut from a cloth And affixed to a façade Can I grow with my heart tied in a knot? It's a whole different place When you look from out of state I thank God for my parents every day [Bridge] I'm seventeen and I can't stop Sleeping through my alarm clock Mother said it's unhealthy And most of my friends never helped me I thought about it last Christmas The rest of them all got addicted It's none of my business I'm glad that I've grown Away from home [Chorus] When you come home Who will you know? Maybe I should stay It could turn out okay You won't be so scared Once you get there Wasn't a mistake Leaving the Garden State Leaving the Garden State Leaving the Garden State Leaving the Garden State [Outro] When you come home Who will you know? Maybe I should stay It could turn out okay You won't be so scared Once you get there Wasn't a mistake Leaving the Garden State
