Running Up That Hill Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It didn't hurt me
But you wanna feel how it feels
But you wanna know that it didn't hurt me
But you wanna hear about the deal they're making, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
You
It's you and me
It's you and me who won't be unhappy

[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building

[Verse 2]
Do you wanna hurt me?
Let's see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
There is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me we both matter, don't we?

[Pre-Chorus]
You
It's you and me
It's you and me who won't be unhappy

[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building

[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
No problem

[Pre-Chorus]
You
It's you and me
It's you and me who won't be unhappy

[Bridge]
C'mon baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let's exchange the experience

[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building

And if I only could...

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
C'mon baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let's exchange the experience

[Bridge]
C'mon baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let's exchange the experience

[Outro]
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building

Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building

No problem

What did Chromatics say about "Running Up That Hill"?

Ruth Radelet said:

It was Johnny’s idea to do the song. I was afraid to cover it at first, since the original already seemed perfect and Kate Bush is such an impressive vocalist, but I am glad we took a chance on it. It’s still one of my favorite songs to sing, and even after all these years of touring I never get tired of it. There’s so much feeling in the song, and a sense of yearning in it that really moves me.
