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
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
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 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
Yeah
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
