(Repeat for the rest of the song)
x = breathe
x x
I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
x x
Are mirror images and when
x
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
x x
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make
x x
Us into corresponding shapes
x
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
x x
And true, it may seem like a stretch,
But its thoughts like this that catch
x x
My troubled head when you're a-way
x
When I am missing you to death
x x
When you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
x x
And when you scan the radi-o,
x
I hope this song will guide you home
x
They will see us waving from such great heights,
x x
"Come down now," they'll say
x
But everything looks perfect from far away,
x x
"Come down now," but we'll stay...
x x
I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
x
But the persistent beat it sounded thin
x
Upon listening
x x
And that frankly will not fly.
You will hear the shrillest highs
x x
And lowest lows with the windows down
x
When this is guiding you home
x
They will see us waving from such great heights,
x x
"Come down now," they'll say
x
But everything looks perfect from far away,
x
"Come down now," but we'll stay…
