Ben Folds - Brick [Radio Mix]

Lyrics

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 sleeping and 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 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

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, 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

She's alone and I'm alone

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
