In the darkness
Before the dawn

To life with old friends
Droning on

Being together?
Did we forget
Did we forget or

Is this where I oughta be?
Time has changed the view

I guess the well's run dry

And we've been missing
[What are we missing?
Absolutely nothing
[Is there nothing?
But a memory
[About that memory
To move beyond
[To build upon?]

ChorusChris Thile, Chris Thile & Sean Watkins, Sara Watkins

Where's the get?
Where's the get in
Being together?
When we forget
Should we remember
[This is where I wanna be
Where's the get?
Where's the get in
Being together?
[Though time has changed the view
When we forget
Are we to gather
There's no more to get
In this together
[

No more to get
Only to give into
Being together
[And I'm me because of you
When I forget won't you
Help me remember

OutroSean Watkins, Chris Thile & Sara Watkins, Sean Watkins, Chris Thile, Sara Watkins

As we drone on
[As we drone on
Past the break of dawn
Hit rock bottom
[Of that dry well
And get to shoveling
[Fellow stranger
We're our own water
[And we've been too long
Too long coming
To be gone
