Brick Lyrics - Whatever And Ever Amen - Ben Folds Five

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 

And we drive 

Now that I have found someone 

I'm feeling more alone 

Than I ever have before 

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly 

Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere 

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly 

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 

Can't you see 

It's not me you're dying for 

Now she's feeling more alone 

Then she ever has before 

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly 

Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere 

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly 

As weeks went by 

It showed that she was not fine 

They told me son it's time to tell the truth 

She broke down and I broke down 

'Cause I was tired of lying 

Driving home to her apartment 

For the moment we're alone 

She's alone 

I'm alone 

Now I know it 

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly 

Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere 

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
