Radios in Heaven Lyrics

Your time has already come and I don't know why
The last thing that I had heard
you were doin' just fine
It seems like just yesterday
I was laughing with you
Playing games at Grandma's house
well you taught me well, didn't you?
I hope I'm...

    this song always hits me so hard i have lost to many friends and family members but the 1 person it reminds me of would be my uncle who died of alcoholism and it tore me apart because he was more then just my uncle he was my brother my friend he was the person i could tell anything and who i trusted and he was only in his early 30 the difference was about 15 years he was to young like a lot of people who have passed recently and this song brings me to tears becuase i yurn to see them all again i wish to hear their voice just one last luagh one last picture one more day my uncle didnt just die when he was 30 and as my best friend he died when i was going through alot shortly after my dad had gone to prison and my mom had always been in and out wich is why another song of the plain white ts has alot of meaning to me its called breakdown and alot of the plain white ts music relates to alot of different peoples lifes it is just so rare to hear modern music like this and when i saw they went on tour this summer i through a fit bc i had no idea and i didnt get to go so i was upset so im hoping that they do it again soon becuase ive always wanted to see them perform live.

    Tom who is the main singer of the band is my cousin. He wrote this song about our great grandma who he was very close with she died in 2002

    The first time I heard this song I started crying because I felt as if it was the song my heart was searching for.

    It reminded me of the times I spent playing at my grandmother's place with my uncle. The age difference between us was of 8 years, he was like a big brother to me. I love him and he's the person I miss most in the world.

    When a family friend told me that sometimes I acted like him in terms of habits, it was the best compliment of my life.

    I love you brother. Please keep watching over me.

    Your little sister, D.

    This song hits me hard because I had a friend who died when she was 10 and my great grandma died 1 year ago from Alzheimer's. This song also talks about not getting closure and that what happened in both of my cases. My great grandma was in the hospital a while before we knew and my friend died due to brain damage and this song reminds me of them both.

    Well, I heard from my friend that the song is about his sister or brother who died ("playing games at grandma's house").

    The author of this song wrote it about a parent, or maybe grandparent or another important figure in this person's life who died. But I think he's trying to tell them in heaven that they finally made it to the radio, and how much he wishes that they were there to see him now, living his dream. When he says "''cause they're playing my song on the radio and I'm singing it for you" he's grieving over their death but at the same time thanking them for everything they did for him.
