When I See You

I've pictured it a thousand times
Your hands, your smile, the way you cry
The way you breathe when you're nervous
How your laugh might sound in real life

I've memorized your every word
But still, it's like I've never heard
The sound of you just being near
And now it's almost here

I'll find you at the corner cafe
Hands shaking, heart out of place
But if you look at me that way
I swear I'll never look away

When I see you
I won't need to speak
I'll just hold you
For everything we couldn't be
And I'll tell you
Without saying a thing
That I want a life with you
And all that it means

I wanna wake up next to your sigh
Kiss your forehead when you cry
Dance with you in dirty rooms
Build a home out of old tunes

I wanna learn you day by day
Burn slow in love that never fades
And if the world decides to fall
I'll fall with you through it all

When I see you
I won't need to speak
I'll just hold you
For everything we couldn't be
And I'll tell you
Without saying a thing
That I want a life with you
And all that it brings

We were written
Before we ever touched
And when I see you
That'll be enough
