"Such Great Heights" - Iron and Wine

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 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...
