These lines reinforce the theme of the song that Ed’s affections are emotional as well as physical. The relationship started with a mutual physical attraction, as evidenced by the lovemaking session the previous night that Ed mentions here. But now, his bed sheets are infused with the scent of the girl’s perfumes and her body. This makes him miss her: a reaction that won’t present itself in a guy who’s just in it for the sex.
