Lyrics I Hope I Know You - The Clientele

I Hope I Know You

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
