Sleeping In My T-Shirt
Zak Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swimming in my pillows
I'm walking on my tiptoes
Sun coming through my window
You were just a booty call
Now you look so beautiful
Morning came I suppose
Sometimes its just the way it goes
Your silhouette framed by the bed post
One look and i'm done for
Standing starry I am speechless
I love you sleeping in my t-shirt
Wearing my heart up on your sleeve girl
Try my best not to wake you
You look so good in my bedroom
6 o'clock in the morning
Fell in love without a warning
I wanna make this forever
So everyday i can see ya
Sleeping in my t-shirt
Forgot about my hangover
Standing in the doorway
No i can't seem to stop myself
From looking over your way
You were not supposed to stay
Happy under your spell
And now you're wrapped under my blankets
Sleeping like an angel
I wanna be,
I wanna be waking up, waking up next to you
Girl, you better be
You better be waking up, waking up in my t-shirt
Eh, yeah
Yeah, sleeping in my t-shirt
Wearing my heart on your sleeve girl
Try my best not to wake you
You look so good in my bedroom
6 o'clock in the morning
Fell in love without a warning
I wanna stay like this forever
So everyday i can see you
Sleeping in my t-shirt
Sleeping in my t-shirt
Sleeping in my t-shirt
The lyrics of Zak Waters's "Sleeping In My T-Shirt" reveal a man's realization of his unexpected love for a woman who started as just a casual partner. The song opens with the man seeing the woman lying in his bed, looking gorgeous and peaceful while he tiptoes around her. He admits that she was once only a "booty call," but now he sees her differently. The man's declaration of love is evident in the chorus as he says that he loves seeing her sleeping in his t-shirt while wearing her heart on her sleeve. The upbeat and cloying melody of the song reflects the joy and contentment he feels while watching her sleep.
The second verse starts with the man still in awe of her beauty, admiring her silhouette framed by the bed post. Despite having a hangover, he smiles at the sight of her in his bedroom, saying that he couldn't stop himself from looking over her way. He can't believe that she decided to stay and is happy to be under her spell. In the bridge, he shows his desire to wake up next to her every morning before affirming that he wants her to stay in his bed while wearing his t-shirt.
Overall, "Sleeping In My T-Shirt" by Zak Waters is about the transformation of a relationship that started as only physical to an emotional, romantic one. The man feels lucky that the woman didn't leave after their night together and acknowledges he has fallen for her, wanting the moment to last forever.
