[00:02.26] Such Great Heights
[00:04.99] The Postal Service
[00:06.01] Give Up
[00:07.11] by Rong Bin
[00:20.35] I am thinking it's a sign
[00:26.57] that the freckles in our eyes
[00:31.02] are mirror images
[00:34.98] and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.
[00:40.25] And I have to speculate
[00:47.57] that God Himself did make
[00:50.62] us into corresponding shapes
[00:56.61] like puzzle pieces from the clay.
[01:00.97] And true it may seem like a stretch
[01:08.00] but it's thoughts like this that catch
[01:10.97] my troubled head when you're away
[01:16.63] and when I am missing you to death.
[01:21.07] And when you are out there on the road
[01:27.33] for several weeks of shows
[01:31.15] and when you scan the radio
[01:36.19] I hope this song will guide you home.
[01:41.37] they will see us waving from such great heights
[01:49.32] "come down now" they'll say
[02:01.36] but everything looks perfect from far away
[02:10.94] "come down now" but we'll stay
[02:21.11] I tried my best to leave
[02:28.13] this all on your machine
[02:33.19] but the persistent beat
[02:36.14] it sounded thin upon the sending.
[02:42.15] and that frankly will not fly
[02:49.52] you'll hear the shrillest highs
[02:53.55] and lowest lows with the windows down
[02:58.62] and this is guiding you home.
[03:01.88] they will see us waving from such great heights
[03:10.48] "come down now" they'll say
[03:22.24] but everything looks perfect from far away
[03:31.52] "come down now" but we'll stay
