Lyrics for Such Great Heights as interpreted by rjbucs28

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
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 . . .

has anyone else seen the video for this? it's pretty nifty and such a great song...great album in fact. This song always reminds me o f the boy i love who lives far away ("its thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away, when I am missing
you to death") and how i hope he thinks of me when he hears our song ("and when you scan the radio, I hope this song will guide you home")

The opening lines to this song are the greatest.

I was thinking it's a sign that the freckles
in our eyes are mirror images and when
we kiss they're perfectly aligned

Isn't that imagery great? How great is it, when you realize that the person you're holding in your arms is just perfect in his or her imperfections? That you just fit together and complement in so many ways.

Those first three lines are some of the best lyrics i've heard in a long time. They have SO awesome imagery and make me feel so happy. when i listen to the postal service i feel like nothing is wrong in the world. they make it seem like everything is simple and there is nothing to worry about. thats how it should be.

I love this song. That goes without saying. But has anyone heard a song called Angel Pumping Gas? I downloaded it, and apparently it is by the Postal service. I dont have the CD, so I wouldnt know. But anyway, its such a great song, but there was no place to comment on it so I did it here.
