I Don't Know You Lyrics

I, I know the stars
Falling from the sky
Falling for you

And I, I know the wind
Combing your hair
Caressing your chin

But I don't know you
Will you show me
Who you are?
Cause I want to know you
So please show me
How to know you

And I, I've seen the waves
Inside your heart
Turning you upside down

And I, I heard the dreams
You have at night
Giving you trouble

But I don't know you
Will you show me
Who you are?
Cause I want to know you
So please show me
How I know you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

First off, this is one of my favorite songs by Kate. It's just so incredibly haunting.

Second, to me, it seems that she is writing/singing of a boy that she sees, and often. But she doesn't know him how she would like to; she's asking him permission to get to know him. We've all done it before, where we like someone so much from afar, but don't have the courage to say anything to the person's face.

To me it seems like she knows a man she hasn't met yet. Somehow they are connected and she feels this connection through the stars, the wind and emotions which are linked to him. She's intrigued by this and wants to understand why she knows him so well even though they've never met.

The last line says it all: please show me how I know you.
