Brick

Artist - Benfold Five



6 am, day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
the smell of cold
carseat 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
they're not home to find us out
and we drive
now that I've 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
and I walk down to buy her flowers
and sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see?
It's not me your 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
they 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 alone
and now I know it
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
