Darling, you haunt me In my waking moments And in my sleep Your scent it lingers Like ghostly hands pulling me in Intoxicating And addicting It sneaks through In the gaps of your absence In the shirt you wore the night before When you slept so closely next to me In the sheets of my bedding And in the comfort of my own skin Where you gently touched me You let your skin burn mine And left behind your scent For me to find For me to drown in For me to think of only you In all the places you knew I would be Oh, you devil in disguise But I suppose I mustn't complain After all, I am the addict And an addict does not decline a high But dwells in the clouds of their sky You are that sky And you smell like heaven

Scent
Darling, you haunt me In my waking moments And in my sleep Your scent it lingers Like ghostly hands pulling me in Intoxicating And addicting It sneaks through In the gaps of your absence In the shirt you wore the night before When you slept so closely next to me In the sheets of my bedding And in the comfort of my own skin Where you gently touched me You let your skin burn mine And left behind your scent For me to find For me to drown in For me to think of only you In all the places you knew I would be Oh, you devil in disguise But I suppose I mustn't complain After all, I am the addict And an addict does not decline a high But dwells in the clouds of their sky You are that sky And you smell like heaven
