Well

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
