Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) "Telephone Line" (music video)

From the album "A New World Record"
1976

Jeff Lynne = Genius

(Long before the hysterical scene in the Adam Sandler movie "Billy Madison", this was an awesome song)

Lyrics:

Hello. How are you?
Have you been alright, through all those
lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely nights
That's what I'd say. I'd tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone
yeah yeah yeah

Hey. How you feelin?
Are you still the same?
Don't you realize the things we did, we did, were all for real, not a dream?
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Blue days, black nights

I look into the sky
(the love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why
(the little things you planned ain't coming true)

Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight

Ok. So no one's answering
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer longer longer
oh oh ooohhhhh

I'll just sit tight through shadows of the night
And let it ring for evermore
Oh oh ooohhhhh
yeah yeah yeah

Blue days, black nights

I look into the sky
(the love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why
(the little things you planned ain't coming true)

Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight

I need help here. I don't get it, he pledge for the phone to be answered, and when it happened he ask for more ringing time. Why? What's the real meaning of the song? It's like he's missing her but he's happy in his loneliness. Is that so?

@themystic10

She doesn't pick up the telephone, he's thinking about what he would tell her if she did.
