A Favorite Song: 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 it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled
head when you're away 
and 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...

Who is YOUR puzzle piece?

  1. Every time I hear this song, I think of my first boyfriend (in sixth grade) who had a freckle in the opposite eye of mine and initials that were the opposite of mine too. We never kissed so I don't think our freckles ever aligned.
