Garden State Lyrics

Round the corner
From your favorite place
There's a house I lived
For seven thousand days
One occasion
We were placing bets
If one of us would move
We could just forget
I tried to play it cool
But only you could see
I knew it would be me

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
Was it a mistake?
Leaving the garden state
Leaving the garden state

We were cut from a cloth
And fixed to a facade
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

I'm seventeen and I can't stop
Sleeping through my alarm clock
Mother says it's unhealthy
And most of my friends never helped me
I thought about it last Christmas
Rest of them all got addicted
It's none of my business
I'm glad that I've grown
Away from home

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
Was it a mistake?
Leaving the garden state
Leaving the garden state
The garden state
Leaving the garden state

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
Was it a mistake?
Leaving the garden state
