Song Description
This song is about meeting somebody who you get along with so well, it feels like you've known them for a long time. It's about how it feels like fate brings you exactly what you needed, and how refreshing that is. The idea of the uncanny, however, is general something that is unfamiliar, but there is an element of something slightly coincidental that makes it accessible to understand.

Lyrics
i know a song i can't remember/ so why am i humming along/ i can't believe it's only december/ the past must have written it wrong/ if i've been waiting all this time/ then how i do know/ the hue of your eyes?/ i know a smile when i've seen one/ i put it in verse long ago/ i think i met you in a dream darling/ i think i've known you before/ i've seen the remnants of the strangest dreams/ so how is it you're here at my door?/ i write the laziest pages/ forcing a rhyme where is none/ but a song that comes when work is done/ is sung like my name on your tongue/ if i've been waiting all this time/ then how do i know the hue of your eyes/ i know a smile when i've seen one/ i put it in verse long ago/ i think i met you in a dream darling/ i think i've known you before/ i've seen the remnants of the strangest dream/ so how's it you're here at my door?/ i fear you'll say i can't stay anymore/ but here we kissed at my door.
i know a smile when i've seen one/ and yours puts the rest all to shame/ and if it's true/ it's up to you/ but i won't quit anytime soon.
