Such Great Heights는 인디 일렉트로-팝 밴드인 The Postal Service의 2003년도 앨범 Give UP 의 2번트랙 수록곡이다.
일렉트로니카 최고의 러브 송이라고 말할 정도로 로맨틱한 가사와 몽환적인 멜로디를 지닌 곡이다. 도입부의 통통 튀는듯한 전자음이 매력적이다. 이곡은 미드 '그레이 아나토미'의 삽입곡이기도 하다.
2 가사
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...
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."
