Man on Such Great Heights
Kid Cudi vs. The Postal Service Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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)

Line by Line Meaning

I am thinking it's a sign
I am convinced that fate brought us together


That the freckles in our eyes
The small details that make us unique


Are mirror images
Are reflections of one another


And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
Our connection is natural and effortless


And I have to speculate
I can't help but wonder


That God Himself did make
That a higher power created


Us into corresponding shapes
Our bodies and souls were made to fit together


Like puzzle pieces from the clay
As if we were always meant to complete each other


And true it may seem like a stretch
I know it sounds like a far-fetched idea


But it's thoughts like this that catch
These are the things that occupy my mind


My troubled head when you're away
When I'm missing you and feeling anxious


And when you are out there on the road
When you're away touring


For several weeks of shows
Playing concerts for extended periods of time


And when you scan the radio
Flipping through stations to find music


I hope this song will guide you home
I hope this song will remind you of me and our relationship


They will see us waving from such great heights
People will notice our love and connection from afar


Come down now, they'll say
Others may question our devotion and commitment


But everything looks perfect from far away
Things may seem ideal on the surface


But come down now, we'll stay
We'll stick together and fight for our love


I tried my best to leave
I attempted to express myself through a message


This all on your machine
I left a voicemail or recorded message for you


But the persistent beat
The constant rhythm


It sounded thin upon the sending
It lost its impact when transmitted


And that frankly will not fly
That simply won't suffice


You'll hear the shrillest highs
You'll hear the most intense emotions


And lowest lows with the windows down
Even the most vulnerable parts of me


And this is guiding you home
This song is leading you back to me

C[Lean Chemistry] I grew up on Postal Service and like no one knows who they are. So it’s nice seeing someone else who appreciates them😁.

These two songs go SO beautifully together, not only musically wise, but lyrically wise! I love both of these songs to death.
