When I See You - Petal

And when I see you I see everything

And when you’re gone it feels like I’m constantly choking

On cards and letters and pictures

When I see you

And when I feel you I feel like a picture of something ethereal

This is something that is so sure

I’m not sure why I’m crying anymore

When I see you

And I pray I’ll be pretty the next time you see me

That a trip away won’t change half a decade of something

So sure that I’m not sure, but there’s one thing that I know

You are the white noise that puts me to sleep

The sweater I wear to hold in the heat

The sun in my eyes that’s blinding me

On the cards and letters and pictures

When I see you
