[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 1]
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
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Ooh, 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 2]
You
It's you and me
It's you and me, 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
Say, if I only could, oh...

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy

[Bridge]
Oh 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

[Chorus 2]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

[Chorus 3]
Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

[Post-Chorus]
Say, if I only could
I'd be running up that hill
With no problems

[Outro]
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill

First Aid Kit are two Swedish sisters called Klara and Johanna Söderberg who have folk influences from Fleet Foxes, Simon & Garfunkel and Conor Oberst. Neither is a professionally trained musician, both having been taught their first chords, as spoken of in an interview with Vogue, by their guitarist father. Their mother works in film, and they have agreed that this has had a profound impact on the content and production of their music videos.

They became well-known after posting a video of a cover of Fleet Foxes' “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” in 2008. They released their first full-length LP in 2010, titled The Big Black and Blue. They followed up with the highly-acclaimed The Lion’s Roar in 2012, and Stay Gold in 2014. Their newest album, Ruins, was released in January 2018.
