Brick — текст песни (Ben Folds)

6am, 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 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`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
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
Driving back 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 heading nowhere
She`s a brick and I`m drowning slowly
