Lyrics
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

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
Sounded thin upon listening

And that frankly will not fly
You'll 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 will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now

Awwwwwww! I think my heart just grew three sizes. This is so funny and sweet and conveys such love! I really enjoy how you emphasise not just Wall-E and Eva's connection, but the growing connections between all the humans, and the humans and the Earth. Beautiful! <3

Wonderful! I love your use of motion.

Gorgeous! I thought this movie couldn't get any sweeter, but your editing is so smart that you made it so! I loved the use of the reflections in Wall-E's eyes to serve the lyrics.

[echan]

AWWWW. So cute and lovely, so much emotion from the robot hands and all the rest.

[metonymy]

Aww, this was really sweet.

Aw, this is wonderful! I love how flawlessly you tied together the two narratives, and all of the repeated imagery with the hands and the shoe and the dancing. Lovely work!

Aww, that is gorgeous! <3

So charming! LOVE this song for this movie -- the combination of sweet vocals and blippy music feels just right. And I love the way you weave together the two love stories.
