Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Echo the hook

  • Say if I only could
  • You
  • It's you and me
  • It's you and me won't be unhappy
