Cover of the wonderful Postal Service tune
Story behind the song
I always loved it and I love the lyrics about how music can bring two people together even when they're far apart.
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!
And when you're 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...
