[Verse 1 ] I’ve been to this restaurant more times than I can say. I always end up sitting at table forty‑four. Not because the food is special in any way— It just gives me what I’m looking for: A quiet moment, A full stomach, A place where I can breathe again. [Verse 2] You’ve only been here a few times, maybe three or four. You don’t like the food, and the drinks don’t help at all. Still, somehow, we end up at table forty‑four. It never gives you what you’re hoping for— And that’s alright. I know I’m not your favourite either. [Pre‑Chorus] The things I love don’t interest you, My stories only make you tired. And that’s alright. I know I’m not your favourite anyway. [Chorus] When you really like someone, The place doesn’t matter, The meal doesn’t matter— Just being together is enough. It may not be obvious to you, But it hits me deeper than I speak. When you notice there’s a difference between us, It cuts a little more each week. [Verse 3] Sometimes I feel like your shadow— Close behind you, Never beside you. We walk the same road, But never together. [Bridge] So today I’m here again, Table forty‑four, just me. A quiet seat, An empty plate, A moment to fill myself In my own way. [Pre‑Chorus 2] When you find something interesting, You’d rather share it with your friends. And that’s alright— I know I’m not the one you choose. [Chorus] When you really like someone, The place doesn’t matter, The meal doesn’t matter— Just being together is enough. It may not be obvious to you, But it hits me deeper than I speak. When you notice there’s a difference between us, It cuts a little more each week. [Outro] And I know I’ll come back to table forty‑four. I know I’ll sit here again. Maybe alone— But at least whole.
