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
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 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
But 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
