T-Shirt
Tawnted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you′re playing games like it's just for fun
Take me back to how we were
You′re more than stains on my t-shirt
I ripped my jeans yesterday
The ones that I bought for our first date
Ain't it so poetic how the years have changed
Should we try to sow em or just throw em out
Scared to find some new ones can we figure this out
Do you know what I mean
This is more than some jeans
You could blame it on love love love
But you're playing games like it′s just for fun
Take me back to how we were
You′re more than stains on my t-shirt
Remember when you used to give me butterflies
One time you told me you were feeling them too
Now you're probably getting them from other guys
Never thought that you would be the one that I lose
I don′t know what happened but I'm sorry that it did
TV turning static guess our channel called it quits
We′d always get nostalgic at the ending of our shows
Now I see the credits rolling I don't wanna go
You could blame it on love love love
But you′re playing games like it's just for fun
Take me back to how we were
You're more than stains on my t-shirt
You could blame it on love love love
But you′re playing games like it′s just for fun
Take me back to how we were
You're more than stains on my t-shirt
The song "T-Shirt" by Tawnted is a heartbreaking depiction of a relationship that has lost its charm and spark. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to go back to the way things used to be before the relationship became stale and repetitive. The chorus emphasizes this point by saying "Take me back to how we were, You're more than stains on my T-Shirt." The first verse describes the singer's disappointment with the way things have turned out. The line "Ain't it so poetic how the years have changed, Kinda feel pathetic how we stayed the same" displays his realization that they have not grown as a couple, and are still stuck in the same place they were years ago. The second verse describes the loss of intimacy in the relationship. The line "Remember when you used to give me butterflies, one time you told me you were feeling them too, now you're probably getting them from other guys" highlights the singer's realization that his partner's love has dwindled, and she is finding fulfillment elsewhere.
The chorus is the strongest part of the song, and the repetition of "You're more than stains on my T-Shirt" is, in essence, the theme of the song. The lines "You could blame it on love love love, but you're playing games like it's just for fun" suggest that the singer's partner is not taking the relationship seriously and is just playing games. The song is a plea to restore the relationship's significance, but the singer feels like a failure in his attempt to carry out that task. The song, overall, depicts the fragility of relationships and the importance of cherishing them and working hard to maintain them.
