Brick

Lyrics

6 a.m., day after Christmas
 I throw some clothes on in the dark
 The smell of cold, car seat is freezing
 The world is sleepin', I am numb
 ♪
 Up the stairs to her apartment
 She is balled up on the couch
 Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
 They're not home to find us out
 And we drive
 Now that I have found someone
 I'm feelin' more alone
 Than I ever have before
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 ♪
 They call her name at 7:30
 I pace around the parkin' lot
 And I walk down to buy her flowers
 And sell some gifts that I got
 Can't you see
 It's not me you're dyin' for?
 Now she's feelin' more alone
 Than she ever has before
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 ♪
 As weeks went by, it showed that she was not fine
 They told me, "Son, it's time to tell the truth," and
 She broke down, and I broke down 'cause I was
 Tired of lyin'
 ♪
 Drivin' back to her apartment
 For the moment, we're alone
 Yeah, she's alone and I'm alone
 Now I know it
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 
 6 a.m., day after Christmas
 I throw some clothes on in the dark
 The smell of cold, car seat is freezing
 The world is sleepin', I am numb
