just because.

"Such Great Heights" 
by The Postal Service

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...
