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 its 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
Lillian Cox
Anyone watching during corona lockdown? Now would be such a perfect time for musicians to try out the Postal Service method of recording parts separately and sending tracks to the sound engineer!
Scott Gordon
The Postal Service was a two person outfit sending stuff to each other. And why would anyone use DATs and the USPS in the age of the internet?
Mom Bear
I loved this song long before my son existed. When he came to live, he saw the freckle in my eye and asked me what it was. God did make us corresponding shapes.
Angel ariel
That really is beautiful
INADRM
I love how those old Gibson's sound. This is now one of my favorite acoustic versions of this song.
Dale Macarena

G. García

Matthew Kopeck
This is amazing.
A cover of a cover by the original artist that admits the cover is better an purposefully messes up playing simple chords omg this is brilliant
Colin Dickson
exactly! its nice to see artists do this. same with how Noel Gallagher now plays Wonderwall a little closer to how Ryan Adams did it
