Passenger - Table For One Lyrics






So I sit on this table for one
And pour me a drink that'll last
I'm not drunk I just miss being young
And I grew old too fast

My wife she breaks and she bends
My children they don't understand
I came here tonight in search of a friend
But I'm the invisible man

'Cause I've swallowed my tongue
And I've polished my gun
And I've sat on my secrets for years
With my stiff upper lip
My composure won't slip
And I've hidden each silent salty tear

I sit on this table for one
And I have been here before
It's a little less than I'd had in mind
But I wouldn't ask for more

And my mother she taught me to write
And my father he taught me his trade
And I wish that they could both be here tonight
To see what a mess I've made

'Cause I've swallowed my tongue
And I've polished my gun
And I've sat on my secrets for years
With my stiff upper lip
My composure won't slip
And I've hidden each silent salty tear

My sons and my daughters don't know me at all
I've dug in trenches and put up walls
I whisper I love you each night as they sleep
But no one hears me when I speak
On this table for one

So I sit on this table for one
I won't go till they tell me to leave
Why'd they teach me to follow my dreams
When dreams are all they can be?

    Well he's sitting in a bar sad his youth is gone so fast(the match is symbolic for that I think), there are people fighting and apparently there's a furry convention taking place there.

    I love this type of passenger's songs. Whole other kind of melody from what he composes nowadays

  59. s.... ....

    I thought I was listening to "Passenger" from my daughter's perspective. How amazing that I am hearing something that speaks to me! I knew all along... Passenger is here for generations <3- 53 years +(hopefully) given to me for a chance to learn :)

  60. s.... ....

    Well, after all isn't all of our lives when you get down to it "Table for One"?

    But no one hears me when I speak..

  66. L.... I....

    :') ES HERMOSOS

  67. a.... y....

    This has quite a comercial feel for passenger - the video mainly I think.

    a.... y....

    JjjjkkFkfkfk FUCKING

    a.... y....

    This was when it was a band, now it's just Mike. Which I think is better IMO but this song is pretty great too. 

  68. E.... L....

  74. l.... ....

    What a great composer/musician. The message of his songs is deep it makes me cry, meditate and realized the reality of life. An excellent composer, simplicity with deep meaning and such a humble man. It reminds me of Jim Croce and Cat Stevens. God bless and thank you for your contribution to the music industry Passenger.

  75. O.... M....

    WoW! He looks a lot cuter here. :) Is it the beard?

  76. a.... a....

    This is absolutely the best music that any one could listin too

  77. V.... M....

    my GOD he looks good here

  78. C.... M....

    superbe ♥

    C.... M....

    j' adore ♥

  79. M.... G....

    Beautiful! *-*

  80. k.... c....

    @Passenger 

  81. D.... W....

    did any one else notice the cut over his left eye? it just like appeared during the video right after the gorilla 

    D.... W....

    Yeah, it's deliberate. He gets the cut eyebrow and the bandage on his hand and a black eye throught out the video. Then at the end the filming goes backwards and hes back to how he was at the beginning.

  82. J.... F....

    I wish I could thumbs up this song 1,000 times. 

  83. D.... G....

    I came here tonight in search of a friend,But I'm the invisible man,'Cause I've swallowed my tongue,and I've polished my gun
    And I've sat on my secrets for years...................

  84. M.... T....

    Passenger's "Table For One"
    Lyrics?..magical, funny and real..pluck my heart strings!

    Passenger - Table For One

  86. M.... H....

    emmeli er lækker ;)

  87. E.... R....

    I can spend all day listening to his music it gives me peace.

  88. M.... K....

    Some parts of this video seem to remind me of Inception. Passenger was falling backwards before it was cool.

  89. J.... C....

    Nice one Passenger!

  90. I.... O....

    love it i put it on my twitter@illy52 today so others can enjoy the story like i did, thank you

  91. D.... E....

    I liked the song before I listened to it
