Brick

6am, day after Christmas

I throw some clothes on in the dark

The smell of cold

Car seat is freezing

The world is sleeping

I am numb

Up the stairs to her apartment

She is balled up on the couch

Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte

Theyre not home to find us out

And we drive

Now that I have found someone

Im feeling more alone

Than I ever have before

Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly

Off the coast and Im headed nowhere

Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly

They call her name at 7:30

I pace around the parking lot

Then I walk down to buy her flowers

And sell some gifts that I got

Cant you see

Its not me youre dying for

Now shes feeling more alone

Then she ever has before

Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly

Off the coast and Im headed nowhere

Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly

As weeks went by

It showed that she was not fine

They told me "Son its time

To tell the truth"

She broke down

And I broke down

Cause I was tired of lying

Driving home to her apartment

For the moment were alone

Shes alone

Im alone

Now I know it ...

Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly

Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
