Brick (Cover Version / Ben Folds Five)
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 is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She is 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 is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Driving back to her apartment
For the moment, we're alone
She's alone, and I'm alone
Now I know it
She is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
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 is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She is 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 is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Driving back to her apartment
For the moment, we're alone
She's alone, and I'm alone
Now I know it
She is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She is a brick and I'm drowning slowly
