Lyrics:

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 I'm 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
Be run­ning up that road
Be run­ning up that hill
Be run­ning up that building
See if I only could, oh

You don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bul­let lies
Unaware I'm tear­ing you asunder
Oh, there is thun­der in our hearts

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Well tell me, we both mat­ter, don't we?
You
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy

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

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

Oh 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

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

See 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

So 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

So if I only could
Be run­ning up that hill
With no problems

If I only could, I'd be run­ning up that hill
If I only could, I'd be run­ning up that hill
