Lyrics

[00:26.900] 6am, day after Christmas
[00:31.900] I throw some clothes on in the dark
[00:36.899] The smell of cold
[00:40.899] Car seat is freezing
[00:42.899] The world is sleeping
[00:44.899] I am numb
[00:56.899] Up the stairs to her apartment
[01:03.899] She is balled up on the couch
[01:07.899] Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
[01:12.899] Theyre not home to find us out
[01:17.899] And we drive
[01:21.899] Now that I have found someone
[01:26.899] Im feeling more alone
[01:30.899] Than I ever have before
[01:35.899] Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
[01:41.899] Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
[01:46.899] Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
[02:06.899] They call her name at 7:30
[02:10.900] I pace around the parking lot
[02:16.900] Then I walk down to buy her flowers
[02:21.900] And sell some gifts that I got
[02:25.900] Cant you see
[02:31.900] Its not me youre dying for
[02:36.900] Now shes feeling more alone
[02:40.900] Then she ever has before
[02:47.900] Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
[02:51.900] Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
[02:56.900] Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
[03:14.900] As weeks went by
[03:16.900] It showed that she was not fine
[03:21.900] They told me "Son its time
[03:25.900] To tell the truth"
[03:29.900] She broke down
[03:31.900] And I broke down
[03:34.900] Cause I was tired of lying
[03:53.900] Driving home to her apartment
[03:56.900] For the moment were alone
[04:02.900] Shes alone
[04:04.900] Im alone
[04:07.900] Now I know it ...
[04:12.900] Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
[04:17.899] Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
[04:21.899]
