Well, I get tied down when you cross my mind
Won't let me back in but I won't stop trying
Tried to untie the knot but it's tied pretty tight
Oh, that knot in your heart when you left that night

This love is like water and water gets rough
Hell, all I can stand but I can't get enough
Let me love you again, give me one more try
Oh, if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise

Someone reminded me not to be reminded of you
'Cause everything's fine, God, I wish it were true
And you run from me like I'm the edge of death
Honey, please stop running and catch your breath

'Cause love is like water and water gets rough
You can drown underneath the surface or keep your head out
Let me love you again, I think we'll make it this time
Oh, if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise

Oh, if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise
Oh, if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise
