I know the song has a capo on the 6th not the 8th, but it's easier for me to sing because Sam's got a low breathy voice. :)

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

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'd like to ask for a personal request of you doing a song called For The Windows In Paradise, For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti by Sufjan Stevens, I think you'd do an amazing job as you can already tell you've done on this song :]

    <3

  • haha, thank you! yea I have done that one actually, it's up on my page.

  • Hey did you know this is originally a Postal Service song which ben gibbard (also lead singer of death cab for cutie) was in that band! whoo... But anyway I think you should sing the postal service version of it it would be really cool!

  • Yeah I like both versions of it, i guess you can't beat the original though haha. I might put one up when I get my computer fixed tho, thanks for the comments!

  • Great job!! I really love your cover!! Sounds a bit like Ben Harper. It's really great! Where did you get the chords for the song I would really like to play it! Great job keep it up!

  • Thanks! Sorry to get back to you so late haha, if you still want to know it's a capo on the 8th, and it's just a C, G, and then 1-3-0-0-x-x. I can tab it out if that helps.

see all
