Table For Two
Slik Willy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I the only one in for us
Cause every time I wait for your call
I end up calling you myself
And I go through this every night
But we never argue or even fight
I wonder just what it takes
To be at the top of your stakes
Yet we walk together down the street
And I end up tripping over my feet
Your always there to help me back up
But these times, now Im all by myself
So late at night I wonder just what I did
And I wish I could wake up and still be a kid
Cause all those times in back I miss
I'd change it so you would be my first kiss
I clutch my pillow tight thinking of you
Just hoping you might call this once
But my hopes are to high even for us
I wake up in a place where im not
The lyrics of Slik Willy's song "Table For Two" reveal a sense of insecurity and doubt in the relationship. The singer wonders if he is the only one invested in the relationship, and whether his partner feels the same. Despite waiting for the partner's call, the singer ends up reaching out first, indicating a lack of effort from the partner's end. The absence of arguments or fights might seem like a positive sign on the surface, but for the singer, it raises questions about the depth of the relationship.
The second verse of the song describes the couple walking down the street, with the singer stumbling over his feet, and the partner helping him back up. However, the singer feels lonely and left behind in the present, contrasting with the comfort and support of the past. The mention of wanting to go back to being a kid and changing things shows a longing for a simpler time, where relationships weren't complicated. The mention of clutching the pillow and hoping for a call shows how the singer is still holding onto the relationship, despite the doubts.
