Running Up That Hill
Sweep & Linda Carriere Lyrics

If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.
I wish I could achieve what I desire, which is to overcome all obstacles and challenges and reach my goals - represented by 'running up that hill.'

It doesn't hurt me.
I am not physically in pain, but emotionally and mentally distressed.

Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to understand the emotional pain and hardships that I am experiencing?

Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to realize that even though I am facing difficulties, I am still pushing forward and being resilient?

Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
Do you want to know my plans and strategies for overcoming my obstacles?

You, it's you and me.
The problems and hardships are between us. We are both struggling, and we need to work together to overcome them.

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. If I only could, oh
If I had the power to make a bargain with a higher power, I would switch positions with my struggles and head towards my goals with ease and success.

You don't want to hurt me, but see how deep the bullet lies.
You did not intend to cause me any harm, but your actions or words have hurt me deeply and caused emotional damage.

Unaware I'm tearing you asunder. Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.
I am unintentionally causing you pain while dealing with my own struggles, and the intense emotions in our relationship are causing conflicts and tension.

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 won't be unhappy.
There seems to be a lot of negativity and resentment towards our loved ones, and we need to acknowledge that we both have value and worth. We need to work together and support each other to achieve happiness.

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, oh
Let's take advantage of this moment and connect on a deeper level, sharing our experiences and supporting each other through difficult times.

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 could trade places with my struggles, I would do it in a heartbeat and effortlessly move towards my goals without any obstacles.
