lyrics
TOO BUSY DIGGING A GRAVE
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2009)
Waiting so long
I didn't know it could take so long
I've been waiting around
Longer than I can say
Now I suppose
That I could go out and see how it goes
But don't you know
I'm too busy digging a grave
All my friends
Think they're going somewhere big
And they'll let you know
That they're on their way
But I don't know
If I even want to go because
Don't you know
I'm too busy digging a grave
Sometimes I think
About the way my life could've been
If I was someone else
Or if somehow things were changed
But it's too late
For me to even speculate because
As it is
I'm too busy digging a grave
