Round the corner from your favorite place There's a house I lived for seven thousand days One occasion, we were placin' bets 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 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
We were cut from a cloth and affixed 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 said it's unhealthy And most of my friends never helped me
I thought about it last Christmas The rest of 'em 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 Wasn't a mistake Leaving the garden state Leaving the garden state Leaving 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 Wasn't a mistake Leaving the garden state
