Brick
Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever, Amen
six am, day after christmasi throw some clothes on in the dark
the smell of cold, car seat is freezing
the world is sleeping, i am drunk
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 breaking up drowning slowly
off the coast and i'm heading nowhere
she's a breaking up drowning slowly
they call her name, it's seven thirty
i pace around the parking lot
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 breaking up drowning slowly
off the coast and i'm heading nowhere
she's a breaking up drowning slowly
as we swept by
they showed that she was not fine
they told me so
its time to tell the truth and
she broke down, 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 breaking up drowning slowly
off the coast and i'm heading nowhere
she's a breaking up drowning slowly
