Chely Wright - Your Shirt

Versuri Chely Wright - Your Shirt

 
There's a rip in the elbow of the left sleeve 
And one button doesn't match 
You sewed that one on yourself 
And at the time it made me laugh 
It's frayed on the collar it's so old and faded out blue 
And I'll never wash it 'cause 
It smells so exactly like you 
When you left it I'm sure 
You didn't think twice about it 
But the irony is that I can't live without it 
 
I wear your shirt like it's your arms around me 
I put it on and you just surround me 
It's so soft on my skin 
Like the touch of your hands 
So good it hurts 
I should burn it I know 
Tear it up I'm this close 
But for the moment I just can't let go 
Of your shirt 
 
It keeps me warm when I sleep 
And those nights I don't 
It keeps me company 
I've got it on in the mornings having coffee 
And after work when I'm watching TV 
It's my comfort it's my torture and yes I realize 
It's just some worn out old fabric 
But it's my consolation prize 
And I'd be a wreck in a New York minute 
If I think too long of how you held me in it 
 
I wear your shirt like it's your arms around me 
I put it on and you just surround me 
It's so soft on my skin 
Like the touch of your hands 
So good it hurts 
I should burn it I know 
Tear it up I'm this close 
But for the moment I just can't let go 
Of your shirt 
 
Your shirt I love your shirt
