#NowPlaying: Ben Fold Five - Brick

Dude, I had no idea this song was about having an abortion until about 10 seconds ago when I googled it. Seriously?!?! Completely makes sense now, but never connected the dots when I was younger. Ohhhhh the joys of youth. Ignorance is truly bliss.

I don't know what I'd ever do if I had to be faced with a decision like that. *knock on wood* I don't think anyone ever knows until they are in those shoes, and even then friends of mine who have had to make it were suprised by their final decision. It's the saying, man plans - god laughs. I don't believe in god in the traditional sense, but I do believe in some power source that we all recharge from. It must get quite the chuckle out of our ego. chuckle. chuckle. chuckle.

Either way, fucking love this song, and totally feelin' it right now. Enjoy!

6 am 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
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before
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
Then she ever has 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
As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son it's time to tell the truth
She broke down and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying
Driving home to her apartment
For the moment we're alone
She's alone
I'm alone
Now I know it
