We know how you want it to be, but sometimes these things are bigger than you think
You want to go back to New Jersey, but sometimes New Jersey’s not as big as you think
The city is like a garden
if you give it time it’ll grow

The ocean’s only seven hours wide, see sometimes these things are bigger than you think
but all you see is the edge of the tide and sometimes these things are deeper than you think
No one here is not on your side
I think you know

Hold on, hold on
See today, you’re ok

We know exactly what you want, but sometimes what you have is more than you think
You want to go back to New Jersey, but sometimes New Jersey’s not as big as you think
When I go you will

Hold on, hold on
See today? You’re ok

And where your heart is, is where you’ll be
Where your heart is, is

Be careful what you say to us here ‘cause sometimes what you say means more than you think
Those you hold, hold onto them dear ‘cause sometimes time is shorter than you think
When I go

Hold on, hold on
See today? You’re ok
