Lyrics
"Boy In The Well" Look at this, it's me walking away Look at you drowning on display Every time I've dropped by, I've tried to say The water is rising, you don't want to stay It's that sinking feeling, you know what it's bringing on You might as well say it I see it, I feel it, this town is going wrong It's turning away You wanted me to be someone that I could never be My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed It's beautiful, I'd like for them to take me on The track mall gang went off on the Tennessee goth A lunar moth, you chrysalis and flail The water is rising, you try to rappel A rousing cheer for the boy in the well It's that sinking feeling, you know what it's bringing on You might as well say it I see it, I feel it, this town is going wrong It's turning away You wanted me to be someone that I could never be My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed It's beautiful, I'd like for them to take me on Here is where I look back, here is where you fell This is where I got up, shaking off my tail This is where your rope trick started to look stale A Greyhound pa** for the boy in the well It's that sinking feeling, you know what it's bringing on You might as well say it I see it, I feel it, this town is going wrong It's turning away You wanted me to be someone that I could never be My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed It's beautiful, I'd like for them to take me on You wanted me to be someone that I could never be My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed It's beautiful, I'd like for them to take me on
