Is this sentence correct? It seems wrong, but I can’t pinpoint why!

You can use "come" instead of "comes". The that-clause is then turned into a catenative construction - the verb "come" is the head of the non-finite clause. Perception verbs, which obviously include the verb "feel",are peculiar in taking a plain verb form : see,hear,feel.. someone/something come.
