Ben Folds Five

[Verse 1] 6:00am, 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 [Verse 2] 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 headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly [Verse 3] 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 [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 headed 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 4] 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 headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
