Running Up That Hill
kate bush/david gilmour Lyrics

It doesn't hurt me
I am strong enough to withstand whatever pain comes my way.

Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to experience the strength and resilience that I possess?

Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
I want you to understand that I can deal with whatever hardship comes my way.

Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
I am willing to negotiate with a higher power to trade places and endure a difficult challenge.

You, it's you and me
It is only the two of us in this difficult situation.

And if I only could
If I had the power to do so,

I'd make a deal with God
I would negotiate with a higher power to change our circumstances.

And I'd get him to swap our places
I would ask to exchange roles and take on a difficult task in your place.

Be running up that road
I would be willing to take on a challenging journey.

Be running up that hill
I would be willing to tackle a difficult uphill battle.

Be running up that building
I would be willing to take on an even more daunting task.

See if I only could, oh
If only I had the power to change things...

You don't want to hurt me
I know you don't want to cause me pain or harm.

But see how deep the bullet lies
But you don't realize how much your actions are hurting me emotionally.

Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
You don't even realize how much you are damaging our relationship.

Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts
Our emotions are intense and powerful and can cause destruction if not dealt with carefully.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Why do we sometimes hurt the people we care about the most?

Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
Let's recognize the importance of our relationship and work towards healing and growth together.

It's you and me
We are in this together.

It's you and me, won't be unhappy
As long as we stick together, we can overcome any adversity and be happy.

Oh come on, baby
Let's work together and solve our problems.

Oh come on, darling
I am committed to you, my love.

Let me steal this moment from you now
Let us take advantage of this moment to overcome our troubles.

Oh come on, angel
We are each other's saving grace in hard times.

Let's exchange the experience, oh
Let's share our experiences and learn from each other.

(If I only could, I'd be running up that hill)
I wish I had the power to overcome my fears and obstacles.
