Brick (Radio Mix)

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
Theyre not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
Im feeling more alone
Than I ever have before
Shes a brick and Im drownin slowly
Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
Shes a brick and Im 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
Cant you see
Its not me youre dying for
Now shes feeling more alone
Then she ever has before
Shes a brick and Im drownin slowly
Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
Shes a brick and Im drownin slowly

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me, ＂Son its time to tell the truth,＂ and
She broke down and I broke down
Cause I was tired lyingof

Driving back to her apartment
For the moment were alone
Yeah shes alone
And Im alone
Now I know it
Shes a brick and Im drownin slowly
Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
Shes a brick and Im drownin slowly
