Such Great Heights 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
And when I am missing you to death

And 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 the sending

And that frankly will not fly
You'll hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
And 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

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

(They will see us waving from such great heights)
(Come down now)
They will see us waving from such great heights
(Come down now)

What is the Meaning of Such Great Heights?

A celestial ode to love and longing, this track paints a vivid picture of two souls intricately intertwined yet separated by circumstances. The lyrics hint at the divine design, likening lovers to corresponding puzzle pieces molded by God Himself. The protagonist's mind is awash with these thoughts as he yearns for his distant lover, hoping that their shared melody will act as a beacon guiding her home. The chorus conveys their lofty love visible from great heights - a sight so perfect it invites envy and disbelief. Despite calls for them to "come down," they choose to remain aloft in their shared euphoria. This song is an anthem for all enduring lovers who brave distance, holding onto the belief that everything looks perfect from far away, choosing to stay suspended in their unique utopia of love.
