Lyrics
Telephone line, bad connection
Struggling communication, possibly due to a poor telephone connection
And I'm half asleep
The speaker feels somewhat drowsy or disconnected
Makin' conversation with you should be easy
Speaking to the listener should be effortless, but it's not
But it ain't
Despite the expectation, it's difficult to converse
Wish you could be with me
Expressing a desire for the listener's physical presence
There would be no problem
If together physically, there wouldn't be any issues
Our communication's bad
Communication between the speaker and listener is problematic
And I want to see you again
The speaker longs to meet the listener in person once more
Person to person, face to face
Emphasizing the importance of face-to-face interaction
Person to person, one to one
Stressing direct, individual communication
Person to person, touching hands
Highlighting the intimacy of physical contact
Person to person, that's what love demands
Suggesting that love requires personal, direct interaction
Six weeks, long time to be without you sugar
Expressing the prolonged duration of separation
But what can I do
Feeling helpless about the separation
Working hard on the other side of the world
Being geographically distant, making it feel like an enormous gap
Might as well be on the moon
Metaphorically likening the distance to being on the moon
Wish that I could write it all down
Desiring to communicate feelings through writing
And put it in a letter to you
Consideration of conveying emotions via a letter
Feelin' like I do right now
Realizing that current feelings won't improve through writing
Won't make it any better to you
Acknowledging that the current emotional state won't change things for the listener
Just got to be
Acceptance of the situation as it is
Person to person, face to face
Reiteration of the importance of face-to-face communication
Person to person, one to one
Highlighting the significance of direct, individual interaction
Person to person, we can't replace
Emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of personal connection
Person to person, that's just how it gets done
Asserting that direct, personal interaction is crucial
Person to person, line to line
Repeating the importance of person-to-person communication
Person to person, just keepin' time
Continuing the emphasis on the significance of personal interaction
