[Intro]
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could...
[Verse 1]
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
[Pre-Chorus]
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, oh
[Verse 2]
You don't want to hurt me
(He-yo)
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
(He-yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
[Chorus]
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Come on, baby
Oh, come on, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh, come on, angel
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh
[Interlude]
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, angel
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, angel
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, angel
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Tonight
[Outro]
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could...
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could...
[Verse 1]
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
[Pre-Chorus]
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, oh
[Verse 2]
You don't want to hurt me
(He-yo)
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
(He-yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
[Chorus]
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Come on, baby
Oh, come on, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh, come on, angel
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh
[Interlude]
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, angel
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, angel
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, angel
Come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, darling
Tonight
[Outro]
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill
If I only could...
