The Crane Wives
The Well
[Verse 1]
All the words I couldn't say to you
Fill up the spaces in my chest
Like spare coins, poised on the tip of my tongue
I make a wish and hold my breath

[Chorus]
Send me anywhere, take me out
I'm the well they're gonna drag you down
Send me anywhere, take me out
I'm the well they're gonna drag you down

[Verse 2]
All the words I couldn't say to you
Oh, the damage I have wrought
That old house, those rotting memories
Burned easier than I'd have thought

[Chorus]
Send me anywhere, take me out
I'm the well they're gonna drag you down
Send me anywhere, take me out
I'm the well they're gonna drag you down

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 3]
All the words I couldn't say to you
A ready army in my throat
I taste blood, I'm sick of swallowing stones
So I'll wave the flag, tell the boys to go home

[Chorus]
Send me anywhere, take me out
I'm the well they're gonna drag you down
Send me anywhere, take me out
I'm the well they're gonna drag you down

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
