garden state* lyrics

Lyrics from Live Performance

[Intro]
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

[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
Was it a mistake?
Leaving the garden state
Leaving the garden state
[Verse]
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

[Bridge]
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

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