Well
Hale And Pace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Went from eating seafood to some cheap canned soup
Been hustling for gigs, but it’s coming kinda slow
We got food on table, but we need a lot more
What if my body gets weak or the cash flow dies
If my mouth can’t speak or my eyes can’t cry
Will you be there when things are tough for me?
If I’m so down, I just can’t see the sky
Will you still be here if the well runs dry?
Instead of flying somewhere, we just took a road trip
If we couldn’t afford the bottle & had settle for a sip
If you had to rock a knock-off every now & then
If life is much tougher since this all began
What if my body gets weak or the cash flow dies
If my mouth can’t speak or my eyes can’t cry
Will you be there when things are tough for me?
Even if the sun isn’t shining on me
If I’m so down, I just can’t see the sky
Will you still be here if the well runs dry?
I think you will, and I hope you will
Because the struggle here is so real
I hope that you never go
Cause no matter what I need you the most
What if my body gets weak or the cash flow dies
If my mouth can’t speak or my eyes can’t cry
Will you be there when things are tough for me?
Even if the sun isn’t shining on me
If I’m so down, I just can’t see the sky
Will you still be here if the well runs dry?
Will you be there when things are tough for me?
Even if the sun isn’t shining on me
If I’m so down, I just can’t see the sky
Will you still be here if the well runs dry?
