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

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...

Finally watched Garden State last night. Some liked it, some otherwise.
I loved it. Reminds me of... you.
