Up the (1)____________ to her apartment
She is (2)____________ up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte

Off the (3)__________ and I'm (4)____________ nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

They call her name at 7:30
I pace (5)____________ the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers

Now she's feeling more alone

As weeks went by

Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
