T-Shirt
Runaway June Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thoughts of you were running wild through my head, mmm
And now itβ²s in the corner of your drawer taking up space
For when I need a reminder it's a mistake
Picking up the phone when you call me like that
Say you want me back, hard pass
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt
I know I'm better off without you here
Baby, I'm good with just a souvenir
Nothing you can say I ainβ²t heard
A hundred thousand times before
Youβ²re just another hard lesson I learned
Been there, done that, I got the t-shirt, yeah
Don't get me wrong, it was fine for what it was
(It was totally fine for what it was)
But I ainβ²t into a hot and cold kind of love, mmm, yeah
You spend your time thinking about yourself
Go try and tourist trap somebody else
Hundred percent ain't going there again
Four outta ten, I highly wouldnβ²t recommend
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt
Ain't no going back where we were
I know Iβ²m better off without you here
Baby, I'm good with just a souvenir
Nothing you can say I ain't heard
A hundred thousand times before
Youβ²re just another hard lesson I learned
Been there, done that, I got the T-shirt, yeah
(Been there, done that)
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt
(Been there, done that)
Iβ²ve been there, done that, got the T-shirt
Ain't no going back where we were
I know Iβ²m better off without you here
Baby, I'm good with just a souvenir
Nothing you can say I ainβ²t heard
A hundred thousand times before
You're just another hard lesson I learned
Iβ²ve been there, done that, I got the T-shirt
(Been there, done that)
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt (mmm, yeah)
(Been there, done that)
Been there, done that, I got the T-shirt
The song "T-Shirt" by Runaway June is about a past relationship that ended badly, and the singer is reflecting on it. The T-shirt in question used to be the singer's favorite thing to wear to bed while she was thinking about the person she was with at the time. However, now it's just a reminder that the relationship was a mistake, and that there's no going back to where they were. Even when the person tries to come back, the singer rejects them β she's been there, done that, and has the T-shirt to show for it.
The chorus repeats the idea of having "been there, done that, got the T-shirt," emphasizing that the singer has already gone through this relationship and learned from it. She knows she's better off without the person, and would rather just keep the T-shirt as a souvenir of the experience than actually try to rekindle things. The song's lyrics also imply that the person she's singing about was selfish and not worth her time, and that the singer won't be making the same mistake twice.
Overall, "T-Shirt" is a fun and catchy song about moving on from a bad relationship and not looking back. The T-shirt serves as a tangible reminder of the singer's past experiences, and she's proud to wear it as a symbol of what she's learned and overcome.
