How do I van?
Dave! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Days are passing and the time is growing near
We all trying to figure out what we're doing here
Reflections and deception are creeping in
Feel your head and your mind start to spin

How do I get to heaven
Take me back to where the road begins
How do I get to heaven
You know you've gotta let me in
You just gotta let me in

Thoughts of you keep running through my head
I'm left with photographs, things I should have said
You'll never know until it's gone
The love you had was the love you lost

How do I get to heaven
Take me back to where the road begins
How do I get to heaven
You know you've gotta let me in, yeah

The things that made us blind to what we had in mind
Who could have known?
I'll never let you go, your memory lingers so
It won't fade away

The things that made us blind to what we had in mind
Who could have known?
I'll never let you go, your memory lingers so
It won't fade away

How do I get to heaven
Take me back to where the road begins
How do I get to heaven
You know you've gotta let me in
You just gotta let me in

How do I get to
Take me back to where the road begins
How do I get to heaven
You know you've gotta let me in
You just gotta let me in

How do I get to
How do I get to
How do I get to




How do I get to
How do I get to heaven

Overall Meaning

The song "How Do I Van?" by Dave! reflects on a sense of longing and regret. The opening lines of the song introduce the theme of time passing by and a feeling of confusion about one's purpose in life. The lyrics then describe the intrusive thoughts and memories of a lost love that continue to haunt the singer. The chorus then poses a question, "How do I get to heaven?" which can be interpreted as a metaphor for finding a sense of peace or closure.


The second verse of the song expands on the theme of lost love and the regret of not expressing oneself. The lyrics suggest that the singer had a chance to express their feelings to their loved one but did not, and now they are left with only memories and photographs. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing the sense of desperation in the singer's desire for peace.


The bridge of the song then introduces a sense of retrospection, acknowledging the things that prevented the singer from seeing what they had in their relationship. The lyrics then suggest that the singer will not let go of the memories and will continue to hold onto them as they look for peace. The song's repetition of the chorus, with added emphasis towards the end, underscores a sense of urgency, reflecting the singer's desire for closure.
