The first thing that caught my attention was the title call to arms, as in, when a man or women is called upon and asked to fight for their country. So I see this as a man leaving his wife for war. And in the first verse he starts laying down a beautiful scene, a place where they can go to feel peace and feel like they are still with each other despite him being gone. And I like the second verse a lot, because I think it's the husband writing back home, asking how his wife is coping with what he's doing and going through, and then he says " I will offer a line, and it's ready for use". And that leads back into the scene that was laid down before, the place where they can feel peace. And the final verse is the wife writing back, basically writing, you can survive this war if you believe.
I really love this song, I think it can relate to anytime you leave someone you love very much. But there is always a place you can go in your head to feel their arms again and feel peace, until your reunite. Excellent work Tom and Angels and Airwaves
