Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you want fee how it feels
Do you want to know: know that
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to hear 'bout the deal
That I'm making
You and me,
[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could oh...
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
You
You and me
You and me won't be unhappy
[Chorus]
You
You and me
You and me won't be unhappy
see'mon baby see'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Come on angel, see'mon, see'mon darling
Let's exchange the experience oh.
[Chorus]
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be 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
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems.
If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems.
