why not stop and dig it while you can

i can't let a moment pass in misery or despair

i'll dig the things i do and i'll do just what i dare

say i can't hold on to the past

the future's coming on too fast

i think i'll stop and dig it while i'm here

yeah why not stop and dig it while i'm here

yeah nothing here is mine to keep so why do i hang on

everything that i have now will be here when i'm gone

i can't change the world too fast

they're still living in the past

i think i'll stop and dig it from now on

yeah why not stop and dig it from now on

i can't let you tie my up or make me play your games

but just in case you're wondering i love you just the same

i said nothing here is yours to keep

a shallow grave is still top deep

to enjoy the things that you once held so dear

so why not stop and dig it while you're here

yeah why not stop and dig it while you're here
