Your Shirt
Chelsea Cutler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This time it don't feel like you want it all
Did I do somethin' wrong to make you go?
Said I would know when it's all good to fall
Now I just need you here to hold me close, oh

'Cause I don't want another heart to fill the holes
That you left under my covers for me to grow cold
I don't wanna miss somebody who's not missin' me
But the city feels so lonely when you leave, yeah

My room, where I want you
Tangled ease in my sheets
In your shirt that I got you
Half asleep, holdin' onto me
My bed where you left me
Tangled up, now it's noon
In your shirt that you gave me
Half asleep, wishin' I still had you

Half asleep, wishin' I still had you

This time you said you're playin' games again
What are we becomin' of it now?
It's fine, I said, if you're the one in my head
'Cause I just don't know how to put you out

'Cause I don't want another heart to fill the holes
That you left under my covers for me to grow cold
I don't wanna miss somebody who's not missin' me
But the city feels so lonely when you leave

My room, where I want you
Tangled ease in my sheets
In your shirt that I got you
Half asleep, holdin' onto me
My bed where you left me
Tangled up, now it's noon
In your shirt that you gave me
Half asleep, wishin' I still had you





I'm half asleep, wishin' I still had you

The relationship has lost its spark, and the other person seems less invested


Did I do something wrong to make you go?
I'm confused as to why you're pulling away


Said I would know when it's all good to fall
You gave me false hope that everything would work out in the end


Now I just need you here to hold me close, oh
Despite our issues, I still crave your physical presence and comfort


'Cause I don't want another heart to fill the holes

My room, where I want you
My bedroom is a place where I long for your presence


Tangled ease in my sheets
Our physical intimacy was comfortable and relaxed


In your shirt that I got you
I cherish the memories of you wearing the shirt that I gave you


Half asleep, holding onto me
Even in my sleep, I want to feel your embrace


My bed where you left me
You left me feeling empty and alone in this space we once shared together


Tangled up, now it's noon
I'm still here, tangled up in the memories of you, long after you've left


In your shirt that you gave me
I keep your shirt close, a memento of the love we shared


Half asleep, wishing I still had you
Even though I try to move on, I can't help but long for what we once had

This time it don’t feel like you want it all
Did I do something wrong to make you go?
Said I would know when it's all good to fall
Now I just need you here to hold me close


Cause I don't want another heart to fill the holes
That you left under my covers for me to grow cold
I don't wanna miss somebody who's not missing me
But the city feels so lonely when you leave


My room, where I want you
Tangled ease in my sheets
In your shirt that I got you
Half asleep, holding onto me
My bed where you left me
Tangled up, now it's noon
In your shirt that you gave me
Half asleep, wishing I still had you

[Post-Chorus]
Half asleep, wishing I still had you


This time you said you’re playing games again
What are we becoming of it now?
It's fine, I said, if you're the one in my head
Cause I just don't know how to put you out Cause I don't want another heart to fill the holes
That you left under my covers for me to grow cold
I don't wanna miss somebody who's not missing me
But the city feels so lonely when you leave


My room, where I want you
Tangled ease in my sheets
In your shirt that I got you
Half asleep, holding onto me
My bed where you left me
Tangled up, now it's noon
In your shirt that you gave me
Half asleep, wishing I still had you


Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm half asleep, wishing I still had you
