Lyrics
Diggin' In
[Verse]
I've been diggin' my own grave for a while now
Ya can't always find what you need
I just figured this ol' shovel's wearin' out
'n there's been writing on the walls...
that I couldn't read
[Verse]
I keep on diggin' like it's all I have
to get me through each and every day
It feels like the handle is about to break
And I just can't seem to dig....
Out of my own way...
[Short guitar instrumental]
[Chorus]
I'm looking so hard at everything
I can only see the forest from my knees
I've tried to crawl 'n I've tried to walk
But I just keep running into trees...
So many trees...
[Bridge]
I just want you to know what I'm going thru
So you have a chance to make a choice
You can leave... or stay and find a way
To help me thru all of this noise
There's just got to be a way
to get us thru all of this noise
[Guitar and Violin Instrumental]
[Verse]
I'd love to talk about this together...
thru the doubt...
and the laughter...
and the tears...
We've still got time...
we've still got love
and as stupid as it sounds...
I'm all ears
[Short guitar instrumental]
[Chorus]
I'm looking so hard at everything
I can only see the forest from my knees
I've tried to crawl 'n I've tried to walk
But I just keep running into trees...
So many trees...
[Outro]
So now I'm turning to all the things
that will help me climb out of this hole
to get a job or get a life... or just a reason
I'm diggin' in to save what I believe is my soul
[Quiet guitar instrumental]
Now we've got dinner on the table
plenty of good wine and cold beer
I'm sure we'll find some answers
So let's dig in... while we're here...
Yeah... let's dig in...
While we're still here...
[Guitar Instrumental: Fade Out]
