Wells is also the recording project of Chicagoans Chris Howaniec and Zane Ranney, both members of now-defunct folk-rock band World's First Flying Machine. This Wells plays mid-to-downtempo rock, drawing from its influences in psych rock, slowcore, ambient and early-'90s emo. Chris Howaniec is the songwriter, arranger, vocalist and producer, playing all parts on their two EPs ("Wells" and "Feel Bad") except the drums, which Zane Ranney is infinitely better at.
Wells is also also the name of a former four-man group from Charlottesville, VA that disbanded in January 2006.
Love Like That
Wells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck in a fever dream.
The darkness holds me
but it's only gonna give
nothing at all. Nothing at all.
Now we're all torn up.
Is this good enough
Well you take and you take
but you're offering nothing.
I'll wait, just refrain
every second is crushing.
It's already 3 AM,
stuck on my phone again.
My mind keeps racing.
Do you like that you love me?
Do you like that you love me?
It seems as if you're sinking.
The weight is tied to your feet.
The world keeps floating
up and away til you feel
nothing at all.
It's nothing at all.
When I drove you home from the Dashboard show everything just felt so perfect.
Wishing you'd forget all the shit I said.
Can't escape this thought that we're different.
Well you take and you take
but you're offering nothing.
I'll wait, just refrain
every second is crushing.
It's already 3 AM,
stuck on my phone again.
My mind keeps racing.
Do you like that you love me?
Do you like that you love me?
The night is never-ending.
You know I hate this dream.
The darkness told me
that it's only gonna give
nothing at all.
Well you take and you take
but you're offering nothing.
I'll wait, just refrain
every second is crushing.
It's already 3 AM,
stuck on my phone again.
My mind keeps racing.
Do you like that you love me?
It's already 3 AM.
I'm all alone again.
My mind keeps racing.
Do you like that you love me?
The lyrics to Wells's song "Love Like That" portray the singer's feelings of being trapped in a never-ending nightmarish state. The opening lines, "The night is never-ending, stuck in a fever dream," symbolize a sense of being emotionally and mentally trapped in a state of turmoil. The darkness mentioned in the song represents the singer's fears and anxieties that seem to consume them, but offers no form of relief or solace.
The second paragraph delves into the singer's internal struggles and doubts about the relationship. The phrase "Now we're all torn up" suggests a state of emotional turmoil or conflict. The knots in the stomach symbolize a feeling of unease and discomfort. The repetition of "nothing at all" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's frustrations with the lack of emotional fulfillment or reciprocity in the relationship.
The third paragraph introduces themes of longing, waiting, and questioning. The lines "Well you take and you take, but you're offering nothing" express the singer's perception of their partner's lack of emotional investment or contribution to the relationship. The mention of being stuck on the phone at 3 AM implies restlessness and an inability to escape thoughts of the relationship. The question "Do you like that you love me?" reveals the singer's uncertainty about the authenticity of their partner's love.
In the fourth and final paragraph, the repetition of the opening lines reinforces the singer's sense of being trapped and frustrated within the relationship. The phrase "the darkness told me that it's only gonna give nothing at all" suggests a realization that there is no hope or fulfillment to be found in the current situation. The repetition of the question "Do you like that you love me?" serves as a desperate plea for clarity and validation from the partner, highlighting the singer's yearning for a deeper connection.
Overall, "Love Like That" delves into themes of emotional isolation, unanswered longing, and the struggle for meaningful connection within a troubled relationship. The lyrics reflect the internal conflicts and uncertainties of the singer, leaving room for interpretation and individual connection for listeners.

The night is never-ending
The feeling of darkness and despair never seems to go away
Stuck in a fever dream
Trapped in a state of confusion and anxiety
The darkness holds me
Feeling consumed and controlled by negative emotions
but it's only gonna give nothing at all
Despite the grip of darkness, it offers no relief or solution
Now we're all torn up
Everyone is emotionally distraught
Is this good enough to ignore the knots in my stomach?
Questioning if the situation is worth overlooking the intense anxiety and unease
Well you take and you take but you're offering nothing
The other person takes everything from the relationship without giving anything in return
I'll wait, just refrain every second is crushing
Enduring the pain and waiting for things to improve, but each moment feels overwhelmingly difficult
It's already 3 AM, stuck on my phone again
Unable to let go of thoughts and emotions, staying awake late at night
My mind keeps racing
Constantly overwhelmed with thoughts and worries
Do you like that you love me?
Questioning if the other person truly appreciates and cherishes the love they have for each other
It seems as if you're sinking
It appears that the other person is struggling or drowning emotionally
The weight is tied to your feet
Feeling burdened and weighed down by their own emotions
The world keeps floating up and away til you feel nothing at all
As everything around them seems to drift further away, they become numb and indifferent to it all
When I drove you home from the Dashboard show everything just felt so perfect
Reflecting on a moment when everything seemed ideal and blissful
Wishing you'd forget all the shit I said
Desiring for the other person to forgive and let go of hurtful words
Can't escape this thought that we're different
Unable to shake the belief that they are fundamentally incompatible
The night is never-ending
The feeling of darkness and despair never seems to go away
You know I hate this dream
Expressing a strong dislike for the ongoing state of distress
The darkness told me that it's only gonna give nothing at all
Feeling hopeless and being reminded that the darkness offers no solace or resolution
It's already 3 AM
Indicating the late hour when thoughts and worries intensify
I'm all alone again
Feeling isolated and lonely
Do you like that you love me?
Questioning if the other person truly values and appreciates the love they have for each other
