Can’t You See Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm falling
I'm falling

[Verse 1: Corbyn]
Girls like you, they just don't understand
Didn't mean harm but you killed a man
Loving you never was in the plan
Stuck in your waves, I sink in your sand

[Pre-Chorus: Jonah]
Swear I saw it comin', I'm a fool for wantin'
You don't wanna be rushed, you don't wanna be touched
It's a shame girls like you don't know how to love
Tried to give you my all, but it's not enough

[Chorus: Jack]
Can't you see that I'm fallin'?
Can't you see that I'm fallin', fallin' for you?
Show me where your heart is
Can't you see that I'm fallin', fallin' for you?
Can't you see that I'm honest and I want this?
Can't believe that I'm fallin' like this for you
Can't you see that I'm fallin'?
I'm fallin', fallin' for you

[Post-Chorus: All]
Ooh, ooh, ooh (I'm falling)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (I'm falling)

[Verse 2: Zach]
And it's crazy the things I would do for us
But the stars don't align, they're not here for us
It's a shame girls like you don't know how to trust
Wish my feelings would turn 'round from love to lust

[Pre-Chorus: Jonah, Daniel]
Swear I saw it comin', I'm a fool for wantin' (Ooh)
You don't wanna be rushed, you don't wanna be touched
It's a shame girls like you don't know how to love (Ooh)
Tried to give you my all but it's not enough

[Chorus: Jack]
Can't you see that I'm fallin'?
Can't you see that I'm fallin', fallin' for you?
Show me where your heart is
Can't you see that I'm fallin', fallin' for you?
Can't you see that I'm honest and I want this?
Can't believe that I'm fallin' like this for you
Can't you see that I'm fallin'?
I'm fallin', fallin' for you

[Interlude: Daniel]
In my dreams, in my hopes
In my mind, they remind me of you
Should've left when I could
Can't get out, I don't know what to do

[Bridge: Daniel]
You can dig my grave, 'cause I can't be saved
Like a grain of sand lost in a tidal wave (I'm falling)
In a broken place, no, I can't be traced
Wish you handled my feelings in better ways

[Chorus: Jack, Daniel]
Can't you see that I'm fallin'? (Fallin' for)
Can't you see that I'm fallin', fallin' for you?
Show me where your heart is (Fallin' for you, oh)
Can't you see that I'm fallin', fallin' for you? (That I'm fallin')
Can't you see that I'm honest and I want this? (Fallin' for you)
Can't believe that I'm fallin' like this for you (Fallin')
Can't you see that I'm fallin'? (Fallin', babe)
I'm fallin', fallin' for you

[Post-Chorus: Jack, All]
Can't you, I'm fallin' for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, I'm falling)
I'm fallin' for you, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (I'm falling)

“Can’t You See” is one of the more downbeat and mature-sounding songs on the album, featuring haunting instrumentals and deep backing vocals.

When released, “Can’t You See” was originally titled “Falling.” Over two years later, the band changed its name after releasing a single titled “Fallin' (Adrenaline)” in September 2020.
