Amy Rigby - Bricks Lyrics

I can't believe you're back again
I'll tell you now like I told you then
We're through
We had our time, we had our fun
Put a fork in us
There's no more me and you

You're looking like you still got plans
But God laughs at a hopeful man
Believe me cause I won't repeat
Restraining order says fifty feet
I'm sticking to the straight and narrow
Don't trip over that wheelbarrow
Go sell crazy someplace else
I'm full up here and these
Bricks won't lay themselves

I'm building me a patio
Got a grill and pinot grigio
It's cool
And I'm not saying we weren't real
I felt the feel
Hey we've all peed in the pool
But you push too hard so I push back
Don't tell me bout the things I lack
As Zevon said go buy a vowel
And while you're at it hand me that trowel
I'm working on my future days
You're not in em, so - go away
You might try yoga, reading helps
I'm kinda busy these
Bricks won't lay themselves

Some things aren't meant to last forever
I haven't got the time to fight
You say we oughtta be together
But if it ain't right, it ain't right

It's ten years on I'm chilling here
But I admit I shed a tear
Or two
That was then and this is now
And folks stopped asking what
Happened to you

Sometimes it's like you're still around
Especially when the rain comes down
The earth reveals all that is hid
And I remember what I did
I didn't know I was so strong
You might say things went kinda wrong
But a woman's gotta save herself and that's what it took and these Bricks won't lay themselves"
