Skye Holland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't hurt me (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to feel how it feels? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
[Pre-Chorus]
You
[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 (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
But see how deep the bullet lies (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Tell me, we both matter, don't we? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
[Pre-Chorus]
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 (Ye-yo)
Say, if I only could, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
You (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
[Bridge]
Oh, come on, baby (Ye-yeah)
Oh, come on, darling (Ye-yo)
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh, come on, angel (Yeah)
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience (Ye-oh, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
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
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
[Outro]
Say, if I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
The lyrics to Skye Holland's song "Running Up That Hill" are about wanting to switch places with someone, specifically, wanting to swap with God. In the first verse, the singer mentions that pain doesn't hurt her, and asks if the listener wants to feel the same. She then talks about a deal she's making, likely with God, but doesn't go into detail. In the pre-chorus, she emphasizes that it's the two of them, the singer and the listener, together in this.
The chorus is where the title of the song comes in, and the singer expresses her desire to be "running up that road," "running up that hill," or even "running up that building," if she could only make a deal with God. The second verse talks about how someone doesn't want to hurt the singer, but there's still pain there. She wonders why there's so much hate for those we love, and reminds the other person that they both matter. The pre-chorus repeats the message that they'll stick together and not be unhappy.
The bridge is a call to action, with the singer urging the other person to let her "steal this moment" and for them to "exchange the experience" together. The final chorus repeats the desire to swap places with God and be "running up that hill with no problems," with the outro repeatedly saying "if I only could" convey the longing and frustration of not being able to do so.
