I Hope I Know You - The Clientele

Close your eyes, take your time

There’s a bad night on the rise

And so we take one step aside

There’s a bad night on the rise

The nervous girl who plays Chopin

Is staring down at me

My dad will soon be home from work

It’s August in this dream

But I hope they know me

And I hope they see me

I just keep hanging around

I just keep hanging around

I could start with just one line

Paint my masterpiece tonight

But friends keep calling in my head

Friends keep calling in my head

The nervous girl who plays Chopin

Is staring down at me

Nothing here has any value

Nothing here is real

But I hope I know you

And I hope I see you

I just keep hanging around

I just keep hanging around
