Brick (University A Cappella Version)

6 a.m. day after

ChristmasI throw some clothes on in the dark

The smell of cold, car seat is freezing

The world is sleeping,

I am numbAn' up the stairs to her apartment

She is balled up on the couch

Her mom and dad went down to

CharlotteThey're not home to find us out

And we drive

Now that I have found someone

I'm feeling more alone

Than I ever have before

She's a brick and

I'm drowning slowly

Off the coast and

I'm headed nowhere

She's a brick and

I'm 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 gotCan't you see

It's not me you're dying for

Now she's feeling more alone

Than she ever has before

She's a brick and

I'm drowning slowly

Off the coast and

I'm headed nowhere

She's a brick and

I'm drowning 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 lying

Driving back to her apartment

For the moment we're alone

And she's alone and

I'm aloneAnd now

I know itShe's a brick and

I'm drowning slowly

Off the coast and

I'm headed nowhere

She's a brick and

I'm drowning slowly
