Lyrics
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.
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
They call her name at 7:30. I pace around the parking lot.
And I walk down to buy her flowers and sell some gifts that I got.
Driving back to her apartment. For the moment we're alone. Yeah.
She's alone and 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
