[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I could start with just one line
Paint my masterpiece tonight
But friends keep calling in my head
Friends keep calling in my head

[Chorus]
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
