brick (cover ver./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
