Story Behind The Song
It's all about a boy who's current relationship is about over. Finding comfort in a close friend and realizing she was the one he should have been with the whole time. The coat basically means he wants to try something else on. "Kiss the girl for everyday the right night never came" simply means he would like to make up all the nights he could have been with her instead.

Lyrics
I'm wearing your coat because I don't like mine anymore.
I'm using your phone because i check my numbers at the door.
I'm not crazy and I'm not shy. I'm just your ordinary guy.
But, I'm wearing your coat because I don't like mine anymore.
(chorus)
It's alright now, it's ok to want to feel this way.
Kiss the girl for everyday the right night never came.
I caught you alone singing the wrong words to my song.
But somewhere in it I will admit your made up lyrics made more sense.
I'm not lazy I just don't try. Half awake and sleepy eyed.
But I'm wearing your coat because I don't like mine anymore.
