If Heaven Had a Landline
Yearning for Connection: If Heaven Had a Landline
Lyrics
Can't believe it's been a year, since you left me down here
Reflecting on the passage of a year since the person departed.
Some things in life just ain't fair
Expressing frustration at life's unfairness in losing a loved one.
I know you're watching over me, I hope you're doing it with a smile
Believing that the departed is observing and hoping they are content.
But I'd give anything to hear your voice one last time
Expressing a deep longing to hear the departed's voice again.
If Heaven had a landline I'd ring it up every day
Imagining the desire to call the departed if communication were possible.
Find ever reason to call you up and say
Expressing a wish to connect regularly and share experiences in Heaven.
Is it everything they said it'd be?
Questioning whether Heaven lives up to the expectations and asking about the departed's well-being.
And I hope you're doing alright
Expressing hope for the departed's welfare.
Losing you would get easier with time
Contemplating that the pain of loss might diminish over time.
If Heaven had a landline
Reiterating the desire for a means to communicate with the departed in Heaven.
Even if it was a payphone, I'd spend every dime I made
Expressing a willingness to spend resources for a brief conversation even through a payphone.
Just a five minute call would get me through the day
Believing that a short call could bring solace throughout the day.
If Heaven had a landline I'd ring it up every day
Reiterating the longing to make daily calls to the departed in Heaven.
Find ever reason to call you up and say
Expressing the desire to discuss the experience of Heaven and the departed's well-being.
Is it everything they said it'd be?
Questioning whether Heaven meets the anticipated expectations.
And I hope you're doing alright
Reiterating the hope for the departed's well-being.
Losing you would get easier with time
Suggesting that the pain of losing the person might lessen over time.
If Heaven had a landline

If Heaven had a landline I'd ring it up every day

Is it everything they said it'd be?

And I hope you're doing alright
