These are words that Jesus says to a woman he had an encounter with at a well. She was a Samaritan woman-- a person no good Jewish person would associate with in that day. Jesus shouldn't have spoken to her, but he did. To her, this was shocking. Not only did he speak to her, he asked her for a drink. She was shocked. His response to her was along the lines of "do you know who I am? Clearly you don't, because if you did, you would be asking me for a drink." But then when he says the kind of drink she would be asking him for, it's not water... it's living water. She's not sure why Jesus is there. He doesn't have anything to draw water from the well with... what's he even doing here? Then he explains to her that the water he's talking about is very different. In fact it's not water as she knows water at all. Drink the water from the well, you'll just be thirsty again... but drink from what Jesus offers... it will change your life forever. Once you experience and understand the salvation and freedom that comes from Jesus, you'll see that life is more than quenching your thirsts and appeasing your appetites. From what well are you drinking?
