Heaven Above
Norah Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm looking at pictures of you
While I listen to snow
Being pushed off of the roof
I can't stand it
When I forget the things that I've got
And I'm wondering why
I was mistaken
When I thought we could have it all
We can see what we wanna see
Before we have to fall
I'm just smiling
At the thought of a day long ago
When you asked me to stay and I left
At the fork in the road
We were dancing
In the place where your heart was in love
And the pieces were in the right place
Sent from heaven above
In Norah Jones's song "Heaven Above," the lyrics describe the loneliness of the singer as she reminisces about a past relationship. The first verse depicts her longing for the person she is looking at pictures of. She is listening to the sound of snow being pushed off the roof in the background, which serves as a metaphor for the cold and empty feeling she experiences without her former lover.
The second verse reveals the singer's frustration with herself for forgetting the things she had and her wondering why she didn't appreciate them while she had them. She acknowledges her mistake in thinking that they could have it all, but now she realizes that she only saw what she wanted to see. This last line emphasizes the idea of selective perception, where people only see things that align with their beliefs and expectations.
The third and final verse shows the singer smiling as she recalls a specific moment between her and her ex-partner when they were dancing in a state of pure bliss. In that moment, everything seemed to be perfect, and it was as if their love had been sent from heaven above. This line symbolizes the idea that love is a precious gift that should be cherished and never taken for granted.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm lonely
Feeling isolated and missing companionship
'Cause I'm looking at pictures of you
Browsing through photos to reminisce on memories of past relationship
While I listen to snow
Being pushed off of the roof
Engaging in activities that amplify feelings of loneliness
I can't stand it
Feeling upset and frustrated over a situation
When I forget the things that I've got
Feeling ungrateful for blessings in life
And I'm wondering why
They were not in my line of sight
Questioning why one's blessings were not noticed before
I was mistaken
Admitting to a past error in judgment
When I thought we could have it all
Believing that a relationship could withstand all obstacles
We can see what we wanna see
Before we have to fall
Behaving based on what one wants to believe instead of reality
I'm just smiling
Feeling happy about a pleasant memory
At the thought of a day long ago
When you asked me to stay and I left
At the fork in the road
Recollecting a moment of regret over a relationship ending decision
We were dancing
Sharing a moment of joy with another person
In the place where your heart was in love
Experiencing mutual affection in a relationship
And the pieces were in the right place
Sent from heaven above
Feeling grateful for a moment of blissful harmony and love

I'm not lonely
'Cause I'm looking at pictures of you
While I listen to snow
Being pushed off of the roof
I can't stand it
When I forget the things that I've got
And I'm wondering why
They were not in my life, no sign
I was mistaken
When I thought we could have it all
We can see what we wanna see
Before we have to fall
I'm just smiling
At the thought of a day long ago
When you asked me to stay and I left
At the fork in the road
We were dancing
In the place where your heart was in love
And the pieces were in the right place

This song makes me feel like there was a love in my past where I thought "this is it, mine forever." But because of my foolishness and mistakes I made, my love was lost and there was nothing left to do but move on.
Is there such a life without hurts and regrets?
SatanzSpawn
No, find drugs and alcohol.....you can control when you want them to leave you.....
