Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and
When we kiss, they're perfectly aligned
[Verse 2]
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine but the persistent beat, it
Sounded thin upon listening
[Verse 6]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now
They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now
