Brick

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
