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
