Six a.m

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 the 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 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 730

I paced around the parking lot

Then I walk down

To buy her flowers

And sell some gifts that I've got.

Can'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

Yeah 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.
