What's That Perfume That You Wear? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's that perfume that you wear?
It brings me back somewhere
To the anticipation
Before I kissed someone
It's got a sadness in it
Knowing how it ended
A promise of something so sweet
That never could be

[Chorus]
And it smells so good
That sandalwood
The lavender
Lemon ginger
And I guess I still love her
But she's gone forever
And however hard that might feel
At least it was real
If it could hurt like that

[Verse 2]
Got a miniature shampoo bottle on my shelf
From when we stayed at a hotel
And one whiff of that and I'm back there with her
Coming out of the shower, she's still in bed fixing her hair
Says, "Let's go somewhere"
I can smell her sun lotion
From the window the jasmine
And the salt from the ocean
[Chorus]
And it smells so good
That sandalwood
The vetiver
Pink pepper
And I guess I still love her
But she's gone forever
And however hard that might feel
At least it was real
If it could hurt like that
[Bridge]
(Over and over, over and over
Over and over, head up, head up, head up!
Over and over, over and over
Over and over, head up, head up, head up!)

[Chorus]
It smells so good
That sandalwood
The lavender
Lemon ginger
And I guess I still love her
But she's gone forever
And however hard that might feel
At least it was real
If it could hurt like that
