* 8-bar intro
* Verse 1 6;A.M, 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.
* 4-bar break
* Verse 2 Up the stairs to the artment.
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
* 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.
* 6-bar break
* 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.
Can't you see?
It's not me you're dying for.
Now, she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before.
* Repeat chorus
* 6-bar break
* 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.
Driving home to her artment
For a moment, we're alone.
Yeah, she's alone.
I'm alone.
Now I know it.
* Repeat chorus
