BrickBen Folds Five
(Whatever & Ever Amen)

6am day after Christmas

I throw some clothes on in the dark

The smell of coal

Car seat is freezing

The world is sleeping I am numb

Up the stairs to her apartment

She is balled out on the couch

Her mum and dad went down to Charlotte

They're not home to find us out

And we drive

Now that I've found someone

I'm feeling more alone

Than I ever had 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

And I walk down to buy her flowers

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's ever had before

She's a brick an i'm drowning slowly

Off the coast and I'm headed 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 were alone

And she's alone

And I'm alone

And 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......
