- Passenger - Things That Stop You Dreaming
From the album "All The Little Lights" available on: itunes.apple.com/gb/album/all-...
Lyrics:
i've got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket
wont get to space cos i haven't got a rocket
but i've air in my lungs
eyes in my sockets
and a heart that beats
like a tap that leaks
in the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it
jack in a box without a key to lock it
well this boat may sink but i'm not gonna rock it
cos the sea doesn't know my name
yeah the boat may sink but i'm not gonna rock it
cos the sea doesn't know my name
well if you can't get what you love
you learn to love the things you've got
if you can't be what you want
you learn to be the things you're not
if you can't get what you need
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
all the things that stop you dreaming
well i've got no ones word and no bodies promise
not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets
and my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest
and my word is true
like the sky is blue
in the summer time when everybody gets on it
warm our skins and get sunburnt from it
and our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains
yeah our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains
well if you can't get what you love
you learn to love the things you've got
if you can't be what you want
you learn to be the things you're not
if you can't get what you need
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
all the things that stop you dreaming
well if you can't get what you love
you learn to love the things you've got
if you can't be what you want
you learn to be the things you're not
if you can't get what you need
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
all the things that stop you dreaming
all the things that stop you dreaming
i don't understand why people simply stop when they listened to let her go. do they seriously believe such a man only has one wonderful song?
8 years later I still ask the same question
Indeed, all of his albums are truly a masterpiece. Hopefully someday he gets the recognition that he truly deserves. Till then, I'll be hating with him :D
This song hit different.@iemandje4567 are you still alive?
Honestly 10 years later
Exactly. He's sooooo underrated.
Passenger has this amazing ability to make music that's catchy yet incredibly insightful and deep. Some of us have dreams that we'll never achieve, so we settle for other things, yet there can be happiness found in the things we've got instead. I think Passenger is seriously underrated.
So true
I totally agree!
Couldn’t say better.
Playing small doesn't serve the world
i realize it's quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online?
'If you can't get what you love,
You learn to love the things you've got.
If you can't be what you want,
You learn to be the things you're not.
And if you can't get what you need,
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.'
I'm crying
Thank you so much for writing them down, I didn't notice he said that... incredible!
Teun or Malte ikr
i can feel this song is written for me T___T
same
its upsetting when people only listen to what they hear on the radio, Passenger is far to underrated! True talent on our hands xx
sometimes you don't get the fame you deserve this man is perfect example
Ok I am over 60 but I love good music, and youngin's, this is good music!
Dawn Bennington absolutely darling little did I know you but boy oh boy I do now love.
Too bad the majority of music that my generation listens to or promote is absolutely nothing like this.
Dude I’m 14 and this is Deep!
@@xominousowlx6959 me to
Josh Hoehn Agreed. I have never understood the point of mumble rap, but apparently it is good enough for the majority of my generation to like, I ask my peers about The Beatles and most of them respond with, ‘Who are the Beatles?’ God dude, it is so irritating having to talk with people who don’t have a clue what real musical prowess looks like.
If you are listening to this.
Trust me, you have a good taste in music 😄
This is a masterpiece. Really love this album, especially this song. It motivates me to do the things that makes me survive. Thank you, Passenger.
Man years later this album is still a 10! Love passenger
That friggin opening!!!!
I love how this song gives me a glimpse of a lot of favorable emotions, scents, colors, tastes, and pictures in my head all at once. My synesthesia reacts beautifully to this song
I can imagine that. One of the reasons I would like to have it.
Same!
Effie Gabrielle Blakely Try life on the street it's got em all.
wait fuck not everyone does that?? Wtf is synesthesia ?? I’ve always had the emotions, colors, and taste thing but I just thought everyone did that??
Thank you for translating this song in your beautiful layered language! ❤️
passenger should be up in the charts
I love all passengers songs, the lyrics are beautiful and so true
This song gives me the feeling which I would describe as "warm depression"
the word might be melancholy, I think that's the feeeling Mike explores the most in his work, the beauty we find in melancholy
Who's listening to this in 2020?
Me
Yep, the year that stopped us dreaming
it's 2021 now, lol, can't stop listening to this
"well if you can't get what you love
you learn to love the things you've got
" best lines
This song really motivates me, glad I heard "Let her go" and explored some of their albums and it is the best decision I have ever made Haha! They have really good songs that you can relate to. Thank you, Passenger.
Passenger is the best
Lilian Bruk I agree. I love this band.
I saw this beautiful man live and I swear to god, if you think this is perfection. See him live, it will blow you away. c':

This is a really beautiful song.
Let her Go is a wonderful song, this one is just Amazing
I just love this song.."but i've air in my lungs
eyes in my sockets
and a heart that beats
like a tap that leaks
in the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it
jack in a box without a key to lock it.."
I love Passenger´s Music
TeleTroll me too
I haven't listened to this in 3 years I still know all the words
OH MY GOSH, I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE LITERAL AND LATENT DEPTH OF SOU EXPRESSIONS.
BEAUTIFUL
Poet.....talented lads!! one of the best. In my opinion...
Never ever sickens me.
Everyword is bang on! Every time gives me that passion & fkin yes! That music is supposed to do!
Music will cure things, medicine can't!
"well if you can't get what you love
you learn to love the things you've got" - not necessarily bad
"if you can't be what you want
you learn to be the things you're not" - very bad
"if you can't get what you need
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming" - total defeat
great lyrics :)
I like this music...
I LOVE IT, DO NOT KNOW SOMETIMES IF IT IS PASSENGER OR JAMES BLUNT. BUT DOES NOT MATTER, LOVE BOTH
be happy........and grateful.....and I am for your music! It fills me with a warmth and calmness...... love all of your music!! You voice is amazing!
This song is just soooo soothing everyday I listen to it.
I like the way he makes such good music. It comes right to the heart. A golden voice!!
This song + 'rainy mood' = perfectness!
I’ve got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket
Wont get to space cos I haven’t got a rocket
But I’ve air in my lungs
Eyes in my sockets
And a heart that beats
Like a tap that leaks
In the night when you haven’t got a plumber who can stop it
Jack in a box without a key to lock it
Well this boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it
Cos the sea doesn’t know my name
Yeah the boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it
Cos the sea doesn’t know my name
Well if you can’t get what you love
You learn to love the things you’ve got
If you can’t be what you want
You learn to be the things you’re not
If you can’t get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
Well I’ve got no ones word and no bodies promise
Not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets
And my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest
And my word is true
Like the sky is blue
In the summer time when everybody gets on it
Warm our skins and get sunburnt from it
And our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains
Yeah our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains
Well if you can’t get what you love
You learn to love the things you’ve got
If you can’t be what you want
You learn to be the things you’re not
If you can’t get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
Well if you can’t get what you love
You learn to love the things you’ve got
If you can’t be what you want
You learn to be the things you’re not
If you can’t get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming

Ty
Knew I'd find the lyrics somewhere here, you're a lifesaver friend, God bless you
Passenger just cant stop playing it even learning it on my guitar, thanks for all your hard work its made so many people very happy
I heard this song a few weeks ago live in Amsterdam and since its been my favourite song😍
I've listened this song countless times
Me too
Unforgettable.
This guy is all I need to get over my depression
wow, i think the intro with that violin melody is one of the most beautiful things i've heard in the last year listening to nowadays music.. !!! wonderful!!
Things that stop you dreaming? Reality.
Semper Fortis yes but I don't quit! Start your dream ! ☺
Semper Fortis doesn't have to be 😊
"Let her go" makes me listen to the artist, The whole Album, make me Love him.
This is true. I hate to admit it but most of us have had a dream we've had to let go of. (For now)!!!!!
exactly, only for now
lots of love passenger
ahh finally something fresh in the music industry, he is gonna go big soon,the only problem is a bit smaller market for such music. But the fans are dedicated.
Incredible... like James Blunt i have a full respect for someone who can stand anywhere with a guitar and make art with music. Absolute beautiful!
and he is danish....
he always speaks the truth #MyMind...
this song has a real deep meaning! just listened to it the album ! it's amazing!!
If u can't get what u love, u learn to love the things u've got
If u can't be what u want, u learn to be the things u're not
If u can't get what u need, u learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
Every Line is such a beautiful metaphor/simile 👌😇
THIS IS THE BEST SONG IN THE WORLD. THEY ARE WEALY AMAING
true words 👌👏💞💕 we learn to love the things we got 😍💞💕👌
Love This Song!
I love the way he says "pocket"
I agree totally! So much better when an artist has to work a day job, hasn't got enough time for their passion and can't provide us with more of their beautiful talent just so they can remain a "hidden treasure." Do the right thing, don't be selfish, share music and have some empathy for the person that brought this treasure to you.
I fell asleep listening to this playlist the other night. Its calming.
If you can't get what you want, you learn to love the things you've got,if you can't be what you want you learn to be the things your not,If you can't get what you need you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming. 3 lines of exuisite truthful meaning.
You're
Thank you is all I can say. For this music, such lyrics, such poetry. This album is just as pearl, round, delicate, beautiful. Rare. Awesome discovery.
and my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest
and my word is true
like the sky is blue
I can relate to that mate.
Passenger does sing some beautiful songs
Your word is definitely true, furthermore- it's honest, sarcastic in a good way and numerous other things- I love passenger. I love his music. Timeless
I saw this in a trailer for a film called Urban & the Shed Crew and thought it was unbelievably beautiful, melancholy, but with an air of hope in it.
Gosh, I love this song.
The best song ever. I'm surprised it's played on the Radio more.
these lyrics are so spoken from the heart so pure this must be a very good person
2019 and Im still listening to this ... Too many memories :)
Hes the greatest I listen to his music every morning
he deserves a medal his lyrics are magical
true and pure music not bullshit
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it another million times. This guy is a genius
Beautiful song. Beautiful lyrics.
Aishwarya Maurya oh yes

David Jr. Sarpee My favourite is "Live for the living " :D

I love the album cover it shows all the little lights not just here but the stars of the rest of the universe.
Mike's lyrics actually have a meaning
super mooi ik ben echt een grote fan van Passenger
It may be 2020 but I refuse to give up on all these songs, it's helped me push through to now, and so I'll listen to this music for as long as I can
Keep going
Stay strong. We need his music today more than ever! :-)
This song. This god damned song. Passenger is perfection!

Underrated 😔❤
Seeing him in a month, cannot wait. Mike, you're amazing!
Love it!
wow ...... cant stop repeating the song....... lyk it.......
things that stop you from dreaming... what profound words. It hurts. But to dream and coming back to reality. Both those things are beautiful things when found in the right light~
passenger is my life
There is something magical in this song
Even if life does not go your way, even if your dreams are shatterred, there will always be something that you might have grabbed along the way that fills that empty spot
adorei Passenger
I like his every song and this is for the first time when I listen to more than one song by one artist. He's so listenable
He has the voice of an angel
i dont see how hes not one of the more popular celebrities. Hes such a better singer than lady friking gaga and justin friking beiber and one friking direction!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
True dat, yo!
Jimmy-Georgia JuJu :)
well said, this guy is a breath of fresh air in an atmosphere polluted by X Factor,
Gaga,K Perry, Beiber,1 Direction and softporn being sold to kids on their i-pads thanks to Miley Cyrus, his song I Hate it says it all, hes a rare gem in a musical world of manufactured muical junk, the U.K is lucky to call him their own.
***** Glad to hear there are still people who are sane :P "I hate the x-factor for ruining music, bunch of money grabbing pricks" haha
***** it's awesome to know in passenger's terms there are so many who have "lit up to scare away the dark" haha. You're very right:)
HE IS WHERE HE WANT'S TO BE AND I LOVE IT!
Saw this guy live last week he’s amazing loved it
Thats like the only british singer who keeps his accent when he sings!
THATS LITERALLY WHAT I JUST SAID TO MY SISTER LIKE 30 SECONDS AGO SISJSK LMAO
