Running Up That Hill Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It doesn't hurt me
You wanna feel how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal we're making?

[Refrain]
It's you
It's you and me

[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
Say, if I only could

[Verse 2]
Oh, you don't want to hurt me (Yeah, yeah, you)
But see how deep the bullet lies (Yeah, yeah, you)
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder (Yeah, yeah, you)
There is thunder in our hearts (Yeah, yeah, you)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love? (Yeah, yeah, you)
Tell me we both matter, don't we? (Yeah, yeah, you)
[Refrain]
It's you
It's you and me
It's you and me
And we 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
We running up that road
Running up that hill
Running up that building
Said, if I only could, oh, oh

[Refrain]
It's you
It's you and me
It's you and me
And we won't be unhappy

[Bridge]
Come on, baby
Come on, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Come on, angel
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh
[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
We running up that road
Running up that hill
With no problems
Said, 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
Running up that hill
With no problems
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Running up that road
With no problems

[Post-Chorus]
Be running up that hill
Be running up that hill
With no problems

[Instrumental Outro]
