Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal?
It's you and me

It's you and me
It's you and me

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
Be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
Be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building

If I only could
If I only could

Come on, baby
Come on, darlin'
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh, come on, angel
Come on, come on, darlin'
Let's exchange the experience.

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
I'd be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
I'd be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building

And if I only could
And if i only could

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
I'd be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
I'd be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building





And if I only could
And if i only could
