Surfboard

I've been findin' myself prayin'
Have you seen the shape I'm in?
I've been cleanin' up my act after a weekend's worth of sin
This past year I got let go and then the rent got hard to pay
So I'm findin' myself kneeling down to pray

I keep 'em clear and small
Little prayers that won't hurt at all
Clear and small
Whispered words float through the walls

Like Dear Lord
I need a surfboard
'Cause I can't figure out how to not drown in these waves
Dear Lord
I saw your billboard
About hell and fire and how I need to be saved
So I'm prayin' straight away

I've been finding myself prayin'
Have you seen the shape we're in?
I know you haven't seen us lately on Sunday mornings we're sleepin' in
Fried from treadin' water in this pool you threw us in
Waitin' for a lesson on how to swim

I keep 'em clear and small
Little prayers that won't hurt at all
Clear and small
Whispered words float through the walls

Like Dear Lord
I need a surfboard
'Cause I can't figure out how to not drown in these waves
Dear Lord
I saw your billboard
About hell and fire and how I need to be saved
So I'm praying straight away
Ohh

Dear Lord
I need a surfboard
'Cause I can't figure out how to not drown in these waves
Dear Lord
I saw your billboard
About hell and fire and how I need to be saved
Dear Lord
Could you send out that surfboard
And maybe a couple hundred grand so we could stay
Dear Lord
If you strike down my landlord
I'll be there every week and not just Christmas Day
Kneelin' down to pray
Kneelin' down to pray
Oh, I'm kneelin' down to pray
