'Perfume' is the final track from my debut EP, 'Bee Without Wings'. It's a romantic ditty which changes between upbeat, jazzy passages and slower, sweeter verses. 'Perfume' is like closure for me, a final feeling of comfort and happiness with my partner - alongside references to Starbucks, thrifting and the Beatles.
Thank you, George <3

Lyrics
I fell in love in a thrift store
We were looking at this 80s haul
George and your best mate John
You make me wish my name was Ringo or Paul
How dare you make me feel so wanted?
I’ve never felt so far from fear – and it’s only been a year
Maybe one day the fear will completely disappear.
Only want to know you
Almost want to be you
Simply want to steal you, and everything you are
And everything you are
I’d like to be your perfume, wear me on your neck
I’ll move out of my bedroom to sleep inside your head
To sleep inside your head
I bruise quite easily, saying leaving you would bruise sounds a bit rude
Knowing you’s greedy, I’ll put on a pound or two.
Will you let me know you? I like your stories twice through,
I like your eyes, they look brand new
You’re expensive, you’re a Starbucks brew
Only want to know you
Almost want to be you
Simply want to steal you, and everything you are
And everything you are.
I’d like to be your perfume, wear me on your neck
I’ll move out of my bedroom to sleep inside your head
I’d like to be your perfume, wear me on your neck
I’ll move out of my bedroom to sleep inside your head.
To sleep inside your head, to sleep inside your head
And I cry too easily, saying if you left I’d cry seems a bit dry
Fall for you faster than a bee without wings falls from the sky
I don’t know all that much but I know the angle of your nose
I think it’s lovely
I think that you might be home
