Lyrics

Such Great Heights

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 it's 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 listenin'

And that frankly will not fly

You will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows with the windows down

And 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
