(Intro) (Keyboard, Gitarren-Riff ) (Verse 1) It’s been a long night, baby, in this house of stone We’re sitting side by side, but we feel so alone You’re staring at the ceiling, I’m staring at the floor We’ve lost the key to the lock on the bedroom door There’s a silence screaming like a freight train in the dark Trying to find a way to reignite the spark But words are just bullets that we fire in vain While we’re both drowning in the same damn rain! (Pre-Chorus) (Palm-Muted Guitar) Tell me, does it hurt you? Tell me, do you feel the fire? We’re walking on a wire, baby, Driven by a wild desire! If I could break the silence, if I could make a move... I’d do anything to be in your shoes! (Chorus) (Volle Energie, Arena-Sound) And I’d be running up that hill! Yeah, I’d be running for the sky! I’d make a deal with the Man Above Just to see through your lonely eyes! I’d be running up that road! I’d be tearing down the wall! To show you that I’m big enough To catch you when you fall! Oh, nothing’s gonna stop us now! (Verse 2) You don’t want to hurt me, but you’re hiding the scars We’re like two distant satellites chasing the stars If I could take the weight right off your chest I’d put my heart to the ultimate test Maybe I’m a dreamer, maybe I’m a fool But I’m playing this game by a different rule! (Chorus) And I’d be running up that hill! Yeah, I’d be running for the sky! I’d make a deal with the Man Above Just to see through your lonely eyes! I’d be running up that road! I’d be tearing down the wall! To show you that I’m big enough To catch you when you fall! (Bridge) Step by step, we’re climbing higher Through the mud and through the fire (Gitarren-Solo: Melodisch, bluesig, dann schnell und ekstatisch) (Chorus) I said I’m running up that hill! Yeah, I’m running for the sky! I’d make a deal with the Man Above Just to look through your lonely eyes! I’d be running up that road! I’d be tearing down the wall! To show you that I’m big enough To catch you when you fall! (Outro) (Beat bleibt hart, Gitarre heult auf) Come on, baby! Running up that hill! (I’d be running for you) Yeah, we’re running! (I’d be climbing for you) Keep on running... (Ausklang mit einem letzten, langgezogenen Gitarren-Akkord) If I only could... Yeah!
