When You Come Near

I see the rain falling down through the haze
I see the colors but I'm missing all the shapes
I see the light but it won't show me the way
And I can't see you

I see the future when I close my eyes
I see your picture, but I think it's a disguise
My fingers run through your hair but no matter how I try
I can't see you

It's like I'm telling myself something I don't wanna hear
They dismiss it as a dream, but it seems so clear
I could testify, but it's best if my eyes drift when you come near
Cause they're telling me something I don't wanna hear

Even when I'm sleeping there's a reason that I do the things I do
And every changing of the season brings believing that dreams come true
Give me just a little time, I'll remind myself what you've been going through
When I can't see you

Well I spend so much time thinking about what's out of my hands
I hear, I plan, I hope, then you command
I wake up grasping at what my heart demands
But it don't matter what I do, no I can't see you

Now I see the future when I close my eyes
I've been staring at your picture, and I know it's a disguise
Don't you know I did my best to love you but no matter how I try
I can't see you

It's like I'm telling myself something I don't wanna hear
Y'all dismiss it as a dream, but it seems so clear
You know I could testify, but it's best if my eyes drift when you come near
Cause they're telling me something I don't wanna hear
