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
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 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
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
