Sweatpants
Lauv Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
Oh
Oh, oh

Sweatpants and songs about her
Coffee with a little bit of alcohol
Oh no, no, don't judge me
Just 'cause I do anything to get by

Oh, without her
Xanax and a little bit of Adderall
Oh no, no don't judge me
Just 'cause I do anything to get by

Said you don't wanna know
Who I am anymore, you don't care anymore
Yeah, I can't really blame you
No, I can't really blame you

And I don't wanna know
Who you're with when you leave
It's so hard to believe
That it's been so long

Swear I still feel you on my skin
Your scent in my sheets
Feels like just last week
We were together

These days it's all
Sweatpants and songs about her
Coffee with a little bit of alcohol
Oh no, no, don't judge me
Just 'cause I do anything to get by

Oh, without her
Xanax and a little bit of Adderall
Oh no, no don't judge me
Just 'cause I do anything to get by

No motivations, I
Just wanna tell you I
I really miss you
But, baby, that's not the issue
The issue is coming back
Expecting this time will last when
We've been through this
We both know
We'll fight, fuck then let it go
Again, again and again, again, again
'Cause deep down I still want to

Feel you on my skin
Your scent in my sheets
Feels like just last week
We were together

These days it's all
Sweatpants and songs about
Coffee with a little bit of alcohol
Oh no, no, don't judge me
Just 'cause I do anything to get by

Oh, without her
Xanax and a little bit of Adderall
Oh no, no don't judge me
Just 'cause I do anything to get by
(To get by)

Overall Meaning

Lauv's song "Sweatpants" is a moody and introspective track about dealing with the aftermath of a breakup. The song opens with a series of "Oh"s, giving it a melancholy and pensive mood. Lauv's lyrics evoke the feeling of being stuck in a rut and using various vices to get by. He laments the fact that he still can't get over his ex-girlfriend, despite the fact that they've been apart for some time. The chorus repeats the refrain of "sweatpants and songs about her/Coffee with a little bit of alcohol," which conveys the idea of being self-indulgent and stuck in a pattern of behaviors that aren't particularly healthy.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of both parties in the breakup having moved on, but still feeling a sense of sadness and regret about what was lost. While Lauv's ex-girlfriend "doesn't care anymore," he can't help but miss her and feel her presence everywhere. Despite the messy and toxic nature of their relationship, he still finds himself wanting to be with her again.

This is so true! I like "Julia" the least, but it's my subjective opinion. Every song is simply amazing!
