Heaven had a phone

歌词

IF HEAVEN HAD A PHONE [Verse 1] If Heaven had a phone, I’d call you tonight I’d tell you I still miss you underneath these porch lights I’d ask you if you’re proud of me, if I turned out alright ’Cause some days I’m still that little boy Just looking for your light I got a couple scars now that you never got to see Some roads I wish I’d never walked, some things I wish I’d leave I learned that life keeps moving, even when you can’t breathe But nobody ever told me how damn quiet Grief could be [Chorus] If Heaven had a phone, I’d let it ring all night Just to hear you say my name one more time I’d tell you I’m okay, even if that ain’t the truth I’d tell you all the things I never got to say to you And if God gave me one minute Before that line went dead I’d say, “I love you, I forgive you, And I hope you’re proud of me.” If Heaven had a phone tonight You know I’d call instead [Verse 2] I still see your shadow sitting in that old chair Sometimes I swear I hear your footsteps But there’s nobody there I’ve got pictures on my phone But they don’t talk back And I’d trade every dollar that I got Just to get one day back I’ve made some bad decisions I’ve been fighting with myself Tried drowning out the memories With anything that helped But every bottle gets empty And every night gets cold When you lose somebody you love You never really let ’em go [Chorus] If Heaven had a phone, I’d let it ring all night Just to hear you say my name one more time I’d tell you I’m okay, even if that ain’t the truth I’d tell you all the things I never got to say to you And if God gave me one minute Before that line went dead I’d say, “I love you, I forgive you, And I hope you’re proud of me.” If Heaven had a phone tonight You know I’d call instead [Bridge] I wouldn’t waste a second asking why you had to go I’d just sit there and listen Like I did so long ago I’d tell you about the family I’d tell you how we changed Then I’d whisper, “I still need you” And probably cry saying your name [Final Chorus] If Heaven had a phone, I’d let it ring all night Even if the answer came at sunrise I’d tell you that I made it Though I barely made it through And every good thing in me Still reminds me of you So if there’s a phone in Heaven And somehow you can hear Just know I’m still talking to you Every time I shed a tear And if Heaven had a phone tonight I’d call you just to say— “I love you… And I miss you… And I’ll see you someday.” [Outro] If Heaven had a phone… I’d never hang it up. [Bridge] If Heaven had a phone, I’d fall down on my knees I’d say, “I’m sorry for the years I wasted And the man I used to be.” I’d tell you every night I fight Just to keep myself alive And the hardest part of losing you Is learning how to live with goodbye So if you can hear me through the silence If somehow my voice gets through I don’t need you to answer, Lord I just need to say, “I love you.” ’Cause I’ve spent my whole life wishing For one more chance to make things right And if Heaven had a phone tonight… I’d call before I lost the nerve to say goodbye.
