Perfume the way we speak and walk
Does it make you feel better when I wear your thrifted sweater
Or the ring that you once bought
Who knew that the smell of scented talk
Now lingers when we speak to each other every week
Like a flower that will rot
I knew the sound of music from your eyes
I knew the taste of colour from the horizons
But now its all a blur
I thought you might help me find myself
But its bitter-sweet to think I've become somebody else
So lets just sink into the couch, light up cigarettes to wash away the
Perfume the way we speak and walk
Does it make you feel better when I wear your thrifted sweater
Or the ring that you once bought
Who knew that the smell of scented talk
Now lingers when we speak to each other every week
Like a flower that will rot
I can't tell myself apart from your disguise
As we lie awake I hear a voice I once recognized
Tell me how you'd feel if we fell off in the end
Like a raindrop falling upward from the ground - it ascends
So let's just sink into the couch, light a cigarette to wash away the
Perfume the way we speak and walk
Does it make you feel better when I wear your thrifted sweater
Or the ring that you once bought
Who knew that the smell of scented talk
Now lingers when we speak to each other every week
Like a flower that will rot
