Running up That Hill
Kate Bush & David Gilmour Lyrics

It doesn't hurt me
I am not in pain

Do you want to feel how it feels?
Are you curious about my experience?

Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to understand that I am not in pain?

Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
Would you like me to explain the arrangement I've made?

You, it's you and me
We are the only ones involved in this

And if I only could
If only it were possible

I'd make a deal with God
I would bargain with a higher power

And I'd get him to swap our places
I would trade positions

Be running up that road
Sprinting down a path

Be running up that hill
Ascending a steep incline

Be running up that building
Climbing a towering structure

See if I only could, oh
This is what I would attempt if only it were possible

You don't want to hurt me
You don't wish to cause me harm

But see how deep the bullet lies
However, your actions have caused significant damage

Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
You may not realize that you are also harming yourself

Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts
Our emotions are intense and turbulent

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Why is there such animosity towards those we care for?

Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
We are both important, aren't we?

It's you and me
We are the only ones that matter in this situation

It's you and me, won't be unhappy
If we stick together, we will be content

Oh come on, baby
Come on, let's do this

Oh come on, darling
My dear, let's give it a try

Let me steal this moment from you now
Allow me to take this opportunity

Oh come on, angel
My precious one

Come on, come on, darling
Let's do this together

Let's exchange the experience, oh
Let's share our experiences

(If I only could, I'd be running up that hill)
This is my desire if it were possible

(If I only could, I'd be running up that hill)
I would be running up the hill if it were possible
