Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (Lyrics) | and if I only could I’d make a deal with god

[Verse 1]
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
It's you and me

[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 (Ye-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

if you're a Stranger Things fan this one going to hit different. I think this scene with Max may have just been my favorite from the entire show. Right up there with Eleven saving Mike from the cliff jump. This song has been on repeat for days!!

[cynwilson]

Sadie Sink was phenomenal. Her performance this season is definitely award worthy. Max is now my favorite character of the whole show. This scene was so profound and keeps playing in my head. So good!!

[Hamzz]

This was honestly the greatest way they could’ve ended that episode . The acting from Sadie, the slow Mo running, the song blasting loud . PERFECTION 😫🔥

[huh]

Max opening up to Billy's grave then followed by this scene has to be one of the most beautiful scenes in this entire show, absolutely fantastic. Max is a damn badass

When you realize why it's Max's favorite song...
"And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places, "
😢 😢 😢

[xivyskyrose]

I bet Kate Bush would be appreciated that this song is back and trending today.

[IndieMadness]

This songs been around since the 80's, I've grown up listening to Kate Bush and I am so glad people are now hearing it. It's always been my favorite song of hers. Finally the recognition she deserves.

[viIIaneIIe]

IM SO HAPPY THAT ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS SHOWED UP IN STRANGER THINGS I LITERALLY JUMPED WHEN THIS SONG STARTED PLAYING 😭❤

[savviianna]

This song is my new obsession now. The music just hits places new music doesn't.

[eve]

There's something about this song that just makes me feel free and it puts a smile on my face

[LC-qkmq]

The cinematics and the whole scene and the vibes was immaculate

"Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out."

[honeyglazedwings]

it really took a scene where a skater girl named Max was being chased by a monster called Vecna for us to discover this and to find out how beautiful the song is 😭

[OzAsbjorn]

You can feel her anxiety and PTSD at the beginning. She was mentally strained and exhausted. Now add a psychologically suppressing monster is trying to fill you fear, doubt and misery. The scene where she takes a stand and runs towards her friends is so strong. It hits on a lot of deep levels. What a performance from the actor and applause to the writers and directors for doing their homework on PTSD and anxiety. Favorite scene in the whole show.

[ProfRavenSteel]

Just watched the episode "Dear Billy"
It was phenomenal and powerful ending.
Really needed that in my life right now.
Will take time to properly absorb it before watching the rest.

[jaimiexc]

I dont know how but all of a sudden a song I never heard of before has now become a key part of my life. What a show. What a song

NEW KATE BUSH FANS:
Welcome to the magic. The album that this song is from is an absolute work of art. Listen to it. Start to finish. No skipping. I also highly recommend typing 'Kate Bush Queen of British Pop' into YouTube and watching the 10min BBC doc. for a great intro to all things Kate. She is one of the few popular artists that can actually be described as a genius. There is, and never will be, anyone else like her.

[masonervin]

Max is amazing this season I love the love she has for her brother it a powerful feeling this song definitely sets the tone to her love for him and it gives me chills it crazy it would not be stranger Things without Max she is def one of my fav characters

[daniellac]

I find it amazing that older songs are coming back to todays society, all thanks to a show. This gives me a piece of hope for older music. This music will not be forgotten and will come back.

[Magooch]

I'm envious of people just hearing Kate Bush for the first time, so much amazing music to discover!
