Lyrics Running Under Water - Sean McConnell

Running Under Water

Well, the Guadalupe River
Has shrunk down to just a sliver
And the ground has been praying for rain
As I stood there on the bridge
Thinking I feel just like this
Tired and thirsty for one damn thing to change
Oh, come holy ghost
Break the levy, build a boat
Call me Noah, carry me away
Oh, what a dream I had last night
I couldn’t scream, I could not fight
And the more that I pushed
And the more that I pried
It got harder and harder
Like running underwater
Well, I can’t hear the angels singing
And the telephone quit ringing
It’s a dustbowl of a soul that I wear
I’m just picking up the pieces
Crying out to Jesus
I could sure use you now if you’re there
Oh, what a dream I had last night
I couldn’t scream, I could not fight
And the more that I pushed
And the more that I pried
It got harder and harder
Like running underwater
Well, I was sinking down without a prayer
And begging just to get some air
And telling myself it’s just a nightmare
Oh, what a dream I had last night
I couldn’t scream, I could not fight
And the more that I pushed
And the more that I pried
It got harder and harder
Oh, what a dream I had last night
I couldn’t scream, I could not fight
And the more that I pushed
And the more that I pried
It got harder and harder
Like running underwater
I’m running underwater
I’m running, running, running
