If Heaven Had A Phone
Longing for Conversations Beyond
Lyrics
Some days just go by, tears can't fall anymore from my eyes
Expressing a period where time passes without shedding tears.
Cause I'm all out of em
Not having any tears left to shed.
I can't shed anymore of it
Unable to cry anymore, reaching emotional exhaustion.
Someday just go by, as slow as the river when it runs dry
Describing certain days that feel slow, comparable to a dry river.
I just cant hold back
Expressing difficulty in holding back emotions.
My whole body just collapse
Feeling a physical and emotional collapse.
Man, I wish I could talk to you, like we used to do
Expressing a desire to communicate with a person from the past.
Sitting on the back porch, listenin' to your stories of the army, and you building roads in Yosemite
Recalling moments of sitting on the back porch, reminiscing about army stories and building roads in Yosemite.
What I wouldn't give, to have one more word with him,
Expressing a strong longing for another conversation with the person.
What I wouldn't give to see his face one more time
Wishing for the opportunity to see the person's face again.
To pick and grin, sing a hymn, have those good old moments like we used to
Desiring to relive and share enjoyable moments like singing hymns and picking and grinning.
I wish heaven had a phone so I could talk to you
Expressing a wish for a way to communicate with a loved one in heaven.
Tell me stories of how you went to jail
Requesting stories about the person's experiences, including going to jail.
But not to turn around and tell
Emphasizing the need to keep certain details private.
Cause nobody knew the person you used to be
Reflecting on the person's hidden past and the contrast with the present.
Tell me how you love my grandma as much as the sun, loves to shine
Desiring to hear about the person's love for the speaker's grandma.
How y'all fought, oh my oh my
Recalling fights and conflicts in the past.
Tell me life stories, about getting by
Asking for life stories and experiences of overcoming challenges.
Every single word I took to heart
Expressing the impact of the person's words on the speaker.
Cause man when you passed, I took it hard
Expressing emotional difficulty in coping with the person's passing.
You'd be so proud of me now,
Imagining the person being proud of the speaker's current achievements.
I could see you smile from miles away
Visualizing the person's hypothetical smile at the speaker's accomplishments.
When I'd, tell you how much I made
Recalling moments of sharing personal achievements with the person.
What I wouldn't give, to have one more word with him,
Reiterating the longing for another conversation with the person.
What I wouldn't give to see his face one more time
Reiterating the desire to see the person's face again.
To pick and grin, sing a hymn, have those good old moments like we used to
Expressing the wish to relive and share joyful moments from the past.
I wish heaven had a phone so I could talk to you
Reiterating the desire for a means to communicate with the person in heaven.
