I hope this song will guide you home...

The Postal Service - Such Great Heights

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
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


I've been listening to this song for a while now, and it only struck me now that the lyrics are really cool. Well, I love it anyway. Ben said this song was a chance to write about the good side of love and how awesome it can actually be, as opposed to all the other 'love sucks' songs that he'd written before. The result is an awesome song that's got me hooked. Anyways, later days!

END COMMUNICATION.
