What's That Perfume That You Wear? Lyrics

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
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
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 standing bare
Fixing her hair
Says, "Let's go somewhere"
I can smell her sunlotion
From the wind of the jasmine
And the salt from the ocean
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
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
