Old T-Shirt
Jake Coco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my bedsheets are screaming cause they miss you too.
It's looking like I'm sleeping alone again tonight
I got a clean slate waiting with your name on the chalk
Come over now, baby, get me out of the dark.
I'm lying here playing solitaire hoping to see you
And I'm hoping that you're coming back tomorrow
Cause I'm so in love with you to ever let this go
I got your old t-shirt and your mini skirt waiting for you to come back home
I need you here, yes my dear.
So come on home,
Come on home
To me
I wrote ten love songs with your name in the title
I prayed to Jesus, Mary, Joseph, every man in the bible,
I'm wishing on a star even though it's only noon
Watching reruns of our favorite shows,
My stomach's been hurting like nobody knows,
I'm jumping up every time I hear my phone ring.
And I'm hoping that you're coming back tomorrow
Cause I'm so in love with you to ever let this go
I got your old t-shirt and your mini skirt waiting for you to come back home
I need you here, yes my dear.
So come on home,
Come on home
To me
When you're in love, like I'm love
Everything is not enough
When you're in love, like I'm love Everything is not enough
When you're in love, like I'm love
Everything, everything is not enough
It's not enough
And I'm hoping that you're coming back tomorrow
Cause I'm so in love with you to ever let this go
I got your old t-shirt and your mini skirt waiting for you to come back home
I need you here, yes my dear.
So come on home,
Come on home
To me
I got your old t-shirt and your mini skirt waiting for you to come back home
I need you here, yes my dear.
Come on home.
In "Old T-Shirt," Jake Coco sings about the pain of missing someone you love. He laments the fact that he hasn't heard from this person in three weeks and it's clear that he's struggling to cope without them. The first verse conveys his loneliness, with the imagery of his empty bed sheets "screaming" because they miss his lover as well. Despite having a "clean slate" waiting for this person, he's stuck in a state of solitude, "playing solitaire hoping to see [them]."
The second verse has him seemingly going to extremes in order to get his lover back. He's written ten love songs with their name in the title, and has resorted to wishing on a star as early as noon, reflecting his desperation. He's even experiencing physical pain in his stomach and he's constantly jumping up when he hears his phone ring, hoping it's them. The chorus repeats that he is "hopeful" and that he has their belongings waiting for them to come back home, driving home the point that he wants this person in his life, no matter what.
Overall, the song highlights the pain and longing someone can feel after a breakup or when their partner is absent in their life. Coco's lyrics, paired with his emotive voice and simple yet effective guitar work, make this song a poignant, relatable track for anyone who has missed someone they love.
