Five Feet Down

Verse 1

How do I tell you how I feel
Does it help to say that I feel ill
For the weekend romps and the life I chose
For the fact that I can’t tell her no

Verse 2

Stepped in this hole before you came
I’d already dug 3 feet of this grave
Now I’m down to 4 and you’re another one
Whose tears I’ve shed and life undone

Chorus 1

I’ve got a sickness that I can’t cure
You better climb out while your life’s still full
Cause you’re standing by me on this loose ground
And I’m digging my grave and I’m five feet down

Verse 3

It’s Friday night and my shovels in hand
For a weekend of booze and one-night-stands
Yeah, I thought of you before I left
But after 5 beers my conscience quit

Chorus 1

Bridge

Now its been 5 years since I wrote this song
It’s been about 4 since you moved on
And I’m the only wolf left on this hill
Cryin’ lonely but the night stays still

Chorus 2

I’ve got a sickness that I can’t cure
You climbed on out while your life was still full
You left me standing on this loose ground
I’m digging my grave and I’m five feet down
