Six 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 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 drownin' slowly   Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere   She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly      They call her name at seven-thirty   I pace around the parking 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 dying for   Now she's feeling more alone   Then 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 lying      Driving 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
