Absence (What We've Got)

Rhett Miller, Ken Bethea, Murry Hammond, Philip Peeples

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

You wait
In the shade
On a balcony
You drink
Spring water
And think of me
But the water turns to wine
Just like in the Bible
It happens all the time

And the wine turns into whiskey
And the whiskey turns to tears
It's been this way for years

But somehow what we've got never breaks down
Never breaks down
Somehow what we've got never breaks down

I sleep
In the motel
While the nightclubs burn
I dream
About high school
But I never learn
Where there's music there is smoke
And a lonely trail of wreckage
And a complicated joke

But the laughter turns to whiskey
Which brings me back to you
This is what we do

But somehow what we've got never breaks down
Never breaks down
Somehow what we've got never breaks down

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
That's why I wander

Oh but somehow what we've got never breaks down
Never breaks down
Somehow what we've got never breaks down
Somehow what we've got never breaks down
Never breaks down
Somehow what we've got never breaks down
