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

Well

Daddy can you fix my heart?
It’s torn in two
Mommy just gave me this sticker and I messed it up
Can you fix my heart?
I made a mistake
I didn’t know how easy it was for things to get this rough

Sometimes it’s so simple
Get some tape, or maybe glue
And hold tight together, a few more seconds than you’d think
Sometimes it takes longer
Then it’s best to walk away
There’ll always be more strength there than it seems

Daddy can you fix my heart?
I’m only seventeen
How can I feel like my world’s about to end?
He tore me apart
I gave him everything
Need something besides his arms to put me back again

Sometimes it’s so simple
Get some tape, or maybe glue
And hold tight together, a few more seconds than you’d think
Sometimes it takes longer
Then it’s best to just walk away
There’ll always be more strength there than it seems

Daddy can you fix my heart?
Cause I can’t let go
Where am I supposed to turn when your time is through?
I learned it all by heart
Many years ago
But one more time I need to hear it from you

Sometimes it’s so simple
Get some tape, or maybe glue
And hold tight together, a few more seconds than you’d think
Sometimes it takes longer
Then it’s best to just walk away
There’ll always be more strength there than it seems

Daddy can you fix my heart?

Sticker

We were standing on the highway 
Cars raced by on either side
No one stopped or yelled it felt a little strange
In the heavy metal hurricane 
I took your hand in mine
Held you close, we watched the world change
To a desert, to an ocean, To a valley, still we knew
If we let go, we’d be struck there in the road
So when you pulled away and disappeared into the traffic
I was screaming out your name when I awoke

I don’t sleep, you give me bad dreams
And I’m losing track of what they mean 
I know a version of you with the keys
To my every insecurity
And you’ve no responsibility 

I was thrust upon the stage
But I’d forgotten every word
So I improvised and nobody could tell
And as I accepted praise
My stomach twisted and it churned
This pretender felt worse than if he’d failed

And I finally picked you out amongst the blurry-faced crowd
You smiled, but you wouldn’t say a thing
I begged you to be honest, You just cast your eyes down
It took me half the day to shake that sting
I don’t sleep, you give me bad dreams
And I’m losing track of what they mean 
I know a version of you with the keys
To my every insecurity
And you’ve no responsibility 

I don’t sleep, you give me bad dreams
And I’m losing track of what they mean 
I know a version of you with the keys
To my every insecurity
I don’t sleep, but can you blame me?
I can hold you in reality
There’s a version of you that believes
In me even when I don’t believe
That I’m worth the love you’ve given me 
Tell me who could ever fall asleep?

Sick Of You
