Such Great Heights Lyrics

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
And when we kiss, they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay

And true, it may seem like a stretch
But its thoughts like this that catch my troubled head
When you're away, when I am missing you to death

When you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows and when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now" they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now, but we'll stay

I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat, it sounded thin upon listening

And that frankly will not fly
You will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now" they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now, but we'll stay
