| | Brick Lyrics Artist(Band):Ben Folds Five
I throw some clothes on in The dark The smell of cold Car seat is freezing The world is sleeping and 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 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 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 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 'cuz I was tired of lying Driving back to her apartment For the moment we're alone She's alone And I'm alone Now I know it Repeat Chorus til end If you find some error in Brick Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Brick Aftermath | Reviewer: daddy t | 7/16/2008 I haven’t heard the song “BRICK” yet but I read the lyrics. At first I didn’t understand completely what it was about, until I read some comments of Ben Folds’ Fans. There is no antidote or anecdote that I know of to eradicate the unfathomable sadness of the situation depicted in “BRICK”. The pain never goes away. The survivors must just live on - as “the living dead” because of their loss - and stay together (which is best I think) or go their separate ways - which lessens the pain not at all. Suicide probably doesn’t help either, although I haven’t the nerve to try THAT yet. Reading the book TILLY by Frank E. Peretti helps a little if you can make it through the pages and see the words through your tear-flooded eyes. about xmas | Reviewer: blake | 5/6/2008 alex, to answer your question about the signifigance it was the day after x-mas in the song, it's relavant to the line in the second verse where he is selling some gifts that he got. Those gifts were xmas presents and he is selling them to help pay for the abortion since he cannot ask his (or her) parents for help. Decision | Reviewer: Nicholas Benbenji | 1/26/2008 The hardest decision to kill the result of love between 2 person... what ever the outcome is... there will always be regret and what-if... hope that all ppl who have been through it can let go and be healthy again... the reason | Reviewer: eric | 1/21/2008 Hey the reason he wrote the song is because it happened to him and his girfrield when he was in hight school. They had a abortion. he tells the story in a interview. This song is so meaningful to me..... | Reviewer: Hope | 10/24/2007 I lost my first precious baby on 2/15/98 when I was 16 because I allowed my asshole of a boyfriend and his scumbag of a mother to force me into having an abortion...I was 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant...I know she was a girl...I wanted to name her Esperanza (hope)....I have heard this song only one or two times and have never seen the words in print...I don't ever plan to again...it hurts.... still.... Brick review | Reviewer: Alex Nichols | 10/11/2007 I think this song is about two young people, possibly teenagers, who got pregnant and how they deal with it. The refraining lines "She's alone/and i'm alone" suggest that after the abortion they realize how empty it makes them, and now they don't have as strong a connection any more. I am still trying to figure out why the time frame is the day after x-mas, but i'm sure there is something to it. hope it helped Review the song Brick The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
