I took this to be a song about being "blinded by love". The rain reminding him of her touch suggests that everything reminds him of her because she's always on his mind. For example, the rain is "gently tapping" and it makes him think of her "gently touching fingers". I believe the remainder of the song is a reference to long-distance relationships (touring perhaps)? "Don't fight the walls" and "your darkness speaks to me" she said, as a reference to the distance, depression, loneliness, relationship paranoia and communication problems of having a long-distance relationship, however she believes that the distance will make their relationship stronger. I thought to "feel what no-one feels" and to "hear what no-one hears" is a reference to feeling love for him/her and hearing the words "i love you". The worst thing for him is not being able to see her smile.
Alternatively, I've just realized the references to the heightened senses associated with the condition of blindness. The tragedy in this interpretation is that she can "see" the world much as he does, only she'll never see the beauty of a smile. He can give her everything he has but he can't give her the gift of a beautiful smile.
In reference to being "blinded by love". He's accusing her of being blinded by optimism. It's a dreary night, raining and he's thinking of her, this is probably a reference to his depression.
