Running Up That Hill
Laura Harding Lyrics


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 that they're making?
You,
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,
We're running up that road,
We're running up that hill,
We're running up that building.
Say, if I only could.

You don't wanna hurt me,
But see how deep the wound lies.
Unaware and tearing you asunder.
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,
It's you and me.
It's you and me, you'll be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
We're running up that road,
We're running up that hill,
We're running up that building.
Say, if I only could.

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me won't be unhappy.

C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
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,
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.

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Laura Harding's "Running Up That Hill" alludes to the struggles of relationships and the desire to trade places with someone. The song begins with the singer saying that the actions of the other person do not hurt her, but asks if they want to feel what it is like to not be hurt. The singer then asks if the other person wants to know about a deal being made. The singer refers to the person as "you" and indicates that it is the two of them in the situation.


The chorus expresses the desire to make a deal with God to swap places with the person. The singer refers to running up a road, hill, and building, suggesting that the situation they are in may require effort, strength, and courage. The repeated phrase "if I only could" emphasizes the desperation in the singer's desire to trade places.


The second verse addresses the deep pain and hurt in the relationship that the other person may not realize. The thunder in their hearts alludes to the intensity of the emotions felt. The singer then questions why there is so much hate for the ones they love and appeals to the other person that they both matter. The chorus is repeated with some variation, ending with the statement that they both will not be unhappy.

Talented and sincere?? MEE-AGAIN??

I CALL FACT CHECK... and the results are in.

Yes. Her family of slave parents & siblings refused to sharpen her crayons because she kept drawing picturess of crowns and banknotes on the walls and saying "I am THE Queen! You WILL OBEY ME!"

SOOOOOOO traumatic for the fledgling Queen of Sincerity. But oh, how times have changed!

Every single domestic aide in California has been hired, abused and fired.

Now she has to wait for her fake babies to start walking to get someone to fetch her tiaras. But who's going to clean ALL THOSE MIRRORS (especially that freaking dumb 'magic' one, which keeps showing an image of KATE... what's with THAT?)

But talented and sincere?

The podcasts were beyond abysmal and akin in content to the output of a teenage girl. Like that Dylan creep, who must surely - just to maintain relevance - be loudly espousing the insincere suicide gambit favoured by her/his/its/their contemporaries. Whatever they touch turns to crap.

Are you reading this Harry? EVERYTHING mate.

YUP.... and then become the coronation victim of a diligently arranged milner's feather, proving you CAN turn shit into gold

Paris ended up being a better human being than literally any of the kardashians

@rb2k196

With the kardashians, it's a very low bar but I agree, she's way above them

@a.alphonso6193

lmao how. she literally does nothing useful or important

@AWindy94

​@@a.alphonso6193 She does more than the Kardashians, and she's part of the reason they became famous celebrities in the first place.
