Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

 

  • It doesn't hurt me
    Do you want to feel how it feels?
    Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
    Do you want to 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 want to hurt me
    But see how deep the bullet lies
    Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
    Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts

    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

    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

    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
    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
    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
    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)

The Only One Who is Always With You

Throughout your life:
The only One who is always with you,
And the only One who is truly by your side,
Is the One who made you,
The One True God,
Who contains no gender.

We Have A Connection

We have a connection,
The One Who Knows Me Better & Less
(Better overall, less in time spent)
Which she called a "kindred spirit"
And I called a "spiritual connection."

She cried and said she would will miss me,
After the last place tonight, 
Which I dragged My Smartest Friend.
I came because of her.
I think she might know that?

Before the show, 
She said a lot of things,
Including how she had a box
For The One Who Should Know Me Better.
She said I could tell her everything I know.

Does she want her to know everything,
Or is she trying to make it easier on me?
She's much smarter than me,
And I wish she would be more direct,
But she's not used to that, as she has shared.

Only God knows the full story,
In every situation.
Please redeem those who I know
Who You have clearly cared about,
In my life so far.

The Last Game

Tonight was the last volleyball game.
For The One Who Knows Me Better & Less,
And The One Who I Don't Know Well Enough.
I'm so sorry I overlooked and underestimated him!
I have always enjoyed him, and I'm so glad he came.

It was a great night. They all had fun.
The One Who I Don't Know Well Enough played with me in 2019,
As The One Who Should Know Me Better
Was with him then and urged him to play.
We had some fun together, but it wasn't like tonight.

I'm so glad I learned the truth,
From my Once Upon A Time Boyfriend,
Who another girl seemed to be with him,
Though he is a forever bachelor,
And she gave me the eye at the end.

While I'm still bothered by the fact that The One Who Knows Me Less
Did not share with me what was really going on, 
And My Once Upon A Time Boyfriend knew because
He was friends with friends with The One Who I Don't Know Well Enough,
I really also get it.

In the last game,
No one truly knows where everyone else stands.
Only The One Who Knows Everything knows all,
Even that I was so mad at him tonight.
For after all, cannot The One Knows Everything fix everything?

Love Is A Very Special Thing

Love is a very special thing
A smile, a tear, a soft summer  rain

It has no beginning
It has no end
And I like it best when its shared with a friend

Love is never stuffed up,
Never puffed up
Never gives up
When the goings rough
It’s the biggest little word you can say
By the way
It’s sympathy, sincerity, its charity
The main variety of everything
Happiness is made of

Love is never stuffed up,
Never puffed up
Never gives up
When the goings rough
It’s the biggest little word you can say
By the way
It’s sympathy, sincerity, its charity
The main variety of everything
Happiness is made of

And I like it best when it’s shared with a friend.



They Both Gave Me End Tables

When my smartest (& least loyal) friend moved last year,
She gave me her coffee table and end table.
She actually got new ones before she moved,
And gave them to me as she was sifting through things.
The were both lightweight.

Now my friend who knows me less (& also who knows me better) is moving,
And tonight she gave me her coffee table and end table.
She is not yet moved, but wanted to gift and not sell them.
She was gifted them and is sensitive to make sure she doesn't use anyone.
They were both lightweight.

A year apart my two friends, the two I have the deepest connection with,
The two I have felt The One Who Made Everything wanted to be in my life,
Have both, through very different circumstances, gifted me the same things.
As one of them said on our weekend trip to Put-In-Bay,
"You have two people who know you and love you."

God Loves People More Than Anything

God loves people more than anythingGod loves people more than anythingMore than anything he wantsThem to knowHe'd rather die than let them go'Cause God loves people moreThan anything
God loves the wearyWhen they're too weak to tryHe feels their pain, he knows their shameHe cries with those who cryHe won't give up or walk awayWhen other people do'Cause god loves people moreThan anything
More than anything he wants us to goAnd show the world so they will knowThat god loves people moreThan anything
