Lyrics
I have this thing that I call a memory Fragrance
It's when a smell reminds you of an older acquaintance
or when a scent reminds you of being a kid
or when a sniff reminds you of where you used to live
You know exactly what it is I am talking about
Your head starts to fill with reasonable doubt
and no, I am not referring to Jay-z
I am talking about how you are relating to me
things end up being fuzzy inside of your own head
You think a certain person or memory is dead
but when the wind blows, and you catch a whiff
You can feel the hair on your neck get real stiff
It's obvious that you have smelled this scent before
maybe it was something you remember and deplore
it seems this memory is hard to restore
Sometimes smells are just too hard to ignore
Damn man, this is a smell I know
Reminds me of living on Edwards, 4 years old
oh, and this smell reminds me of being with her
and everything that I thought I ever derserved
and this smell reminds me of all those shots
both alcoholic and opportune, lots
and this scent reminds me where to go,
because I know it'll lead me right back home
When I'm at the mall man, I smell that smell
The smell that reminds me of retail hell
after she left, she left her pillow and blanket
since her scent remained I didin't think I would make it
When I smell food, man I'm thinkin of home
and the food my mom made me before I was grown
I had to pick my brother up from school sometimes
and the smell gave me too much nostalgia on the inside
the smell of sweat reminds me of playing football
the only thing that kept me going with all my downfalls
It's okay, I pulled it thru, and I made it
If I could have remembered the date I would have saved it
Smells are weird because they provoke so much thought
and I don't think this song is weird at all
hopefully soon, I'll be smelling them moon rocks
and I can remember how it was being at the top
