Well Lyrics

Corey left town in December

He couldn't move the grapes that he'd grown

I guess he held onto his land in the hope

That the county would let him build homes

Since he's been gone there's been rumbling

The neighborhood's empty inside

No one will say it aloud, but we all have been

Wondering if the well's gone dry

Buying this place felt like building

The backdrop for life's in-between

We knew it wasn't worth nothing

Four walls and a roof and a dream

But we've outgrown our young machinations

Three babies will open your eyes

What good's a dream if you can't get to sleep? Stay up

Wondering if the well's gone dry

Now you don't blame the others for leaving

It's scarcer than ever for faith

If the fires don't take us and the mortgage don't break us

Lord knows we've learned how to wait

But I never learned how to fail gracefully

And I don't think I could if I tried

So we'll give it our best as our spirits grow restless

Wondering if the well's gone dry

It's hard to value investments

In passion and patience and time

They've got their pressures that they gotta measure

And we sure as hell got yours and mine

The mouths that need feeding are hungry

So our dreams take their place on the side

But we don't ignore them; so long we've lived for them

Wondering if the well's gone dry

Now you don't blame the others for leaving

It's scarcer than ever for faith

If the fires don't take us and the mortgage don't break us

Lord knows we've learned how to wait

But I never learned how to fail gracefully

And I don't think I could if I tried

So we'll give it our best as our spirits grow restless

Wondering if the well's gone dry

You knew what you had signed up for

Fell for the fool that I am

Held back your blame, never asked me to change

Despite the load left in your hands

I aim to reward your virtue

Cause God knows that you've tried

I'll do my best to make sure that you're never left

Wondering if the well's gone dry

What good's a dream if you can't get to sleep? Stay up

Wondering if the well's gone dry
