You smell the same, as you did, the first time I hugged you, and you gripped me tight. You smell the same, as you did, when your dad died, and I held you, told you it would be alright. You smell the same, as you did, when you punched a hole in your wall, you couldn't feel my touch, but I had to watch over Skype. You smell the same, as you did, when you lost all control, hit a tree on ecstasy, going 40 over, in the middle of the night. You smell the same, as you did, in the hospital bed, foggy in the head, I held your hand, the only part of you, that wasn't broken, in sight. You smell different, this time, I don't know where you were, but with your smell gone, so is the light.

Love is a Hell of a Drug
You smell the same, as you did, the first time I hugged you, and you gripped me tight. You smell the same, as you did, when your dad died, and I held you, told you it would be alright. You smell the same, as you did, when you punched a hole in your wall, you couldn't feel my touch, but I had to watch over Skype. You smell the same, as you did, when you lost all control, hit a tree on ecstasy, going 40 over, in the middle of the night. You smell the same, as you did, in the hospital bed, foggy in the head, I held your hand, the only part of you, that wasn't broken, in sight. You smell different, this time, I don't know where you were, but with your smell gone, so is the light.
