You come home humming Ashes to Ashes
You lie down, melt into the mattress
You see her in everything you do
It'll fade but you don't want it to
You fell and you haven't stopped yet
So you're learning how to live with it
A pretty girl with a nasty glare
Leans over the sink as she cuts your hair
Absence didn't make you fonder
Absence only made you hate (made you hate)
The monotone of her answering machine
And the way it says her name
Absence didn't make you fonder
Absence only made you hate (made you hate)
The monotone of her answering machine
And the way it says her name
In March, you made angels in the snow
Her breath felt warm on the tip of your nose
There's nowhere else for you to go
When one door opens another slams closed
Like two mirrors kissing
Like sisters sharing the same face
They call it the hedgehog's dilemma
The closer you get the more you want to get away
Absence didn't make you fonder
Absence only made you hate (made you hate)
The monotone of her answering machine
And the way it says her name
Absence didn't make you fonder
Absence only made you hate (made you hate)
The monotone of her answering machine
And the way it says her name
Absence didn't make you fonder
Absence only made you hate (made you hate)
The monotone of her answering machine
And the way it says her name
You always thought you'd grow up one day
Look at yourself and see somebody
Entirely new, just with the same name
A clean conscience in a different body
Is it raining where you are?
Can you feel the cold I'm feeling?
It's the middle of March
I don't know why I'm still shivering
You sit on the shore of Spencer's Spit
Pitching rocks into the mist
She sits on Spencer's Spit
In the mist
You sit on the shore of Spencer's Spit
Pitching rocks into the mist
She sits on Spencer's Spit
In the mist
