Such Great Heights

Such Great Heights

The Postal Service

Give Up

by Rong Bin

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.

And 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 the sending.

and that frankly will not fly

you'll 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

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

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
