Such Great Heights

The song 'Such Great Heights' by The Postal Service is a poetic exploration of love, connection, and the sense of unity that comes with a deep relationship. The lyrics begin with a romantic notion, suggesting that the freckles in the lovers' eyes are a sign of their destined connection, as if they were made for each other like puzzle pieces. This imagery evokes a sense of preordained love and the idea that some relationships are meant to be, crafted by a higher power or fate.

The song also touches on the challenges of distance in a relationship. The reference to being away on the road and the longing that comes with separation highlights the difficulties faced by those in long-distance relationships or those who spend time apart due to work or other commitments. The radio and the song itself are seen as a bridge between the lovers, a guiding force that brings them back together in spirit if not in physical presence.

Finally, the chorus speaks to the perspective that love gives to the couple. From 'such great heights,' their love seems perfect and untouchable. The repeated lines 'come down now, they'll say' and 'come down now, but we'll stay' suggest that others may not understand the depth of their connection and may advise them to be more grounded. However, the couple chooses to remain in their elevated state of love, where everything looks perfect, despite the distance or the opinions of others.
