Intro

          

Verse 1

Six AM, 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

Pre-chorus

And we drive 
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone 
than I ever have before   

Chorus

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
off the coast and I'm heading nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
    

Verse 2

They call her name
at seven thirty
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down
to buy her flowers
and sell some gifts that I got

Pre-chorus

Can't you see 
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone 
than she ever has before  

Chorus

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
off the coast and I'm heading nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
       
      

Bridge

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   

Verse 3

Driving back to her apartment
for the moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone and I'm alone
and now I know it

Chorus

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
off the coast and I'm heading nowhere
She's a brick and I'm
...drowning slowly
