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
Mum 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,
Then
I ever have before...
Chorus:
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 got.
Can't
you see, It's not me you're dying for.
Now
she's feeling more alone then she ever has before...
Chorus
As
weeks went by, it showed that she was not fine.
They
told me, "Son it's 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, we're alone.
She's
alone, I'm alone, Now I know it...
Chorus
