[Verse 1] Static hum on the radio dial Fluorescent flicker in a government file Shadows stretch where the streetlights fail You're calling from the other side of the veil Cold wind through the arcade door Polaroids scattered on the basement floor Your voice distorts through the frequency A deal with God just to set you free [Pre-Chorus] If I only could, I'd make a deal Tear through the fabric, make it real Thunder rolls where the dimensions bleed You're the only thing I need [Chorus] Running up that hill, through the upside down Analog hearts in a ghost town sound If we swap our places, would you understand? Lightning in my veins, your cold, cold hand Running up that hill with no problems Through the static and the neon blossom [Verse 2] Walkie-talkie crackle, your breath in the wire Hawkins Lab burning with electrical fire Bike tires skid where the asphalt ends You're trapped in a mirror that never bends Basement lights flicker S-O-S Mom's in the kitchen, doesn't know you're possessed I'd trade my lungs for your next heartbeat Rewrite the ending where we both retreat [Pre-Chorus] If I only could, I'd rip the seam Pull you out of that fever dream The gate is open, the clock strikes four You're the only thing worth dying for [Chorus] Running up that hill, through the crimson sky Synth waves breaking where the monsters lie If we swap our places, would you feel my fear? Voltage in my chest, your voice disappears Running up that hill with no problems Through the rift and the neon blossoms [Bridge] And the Mind Flayer's watching from the storm above Tentacles wrapped around the ones we love Synthesizers howl your name in pain I'd drown in the Upside Down to break the chain Come on, baby, come on, darling Let me pull you from the crawling Swap my world for one more second See the light before we're reckoned [Chorus] Running up that hill, through the upside down Analog hearts in a ghost town sound If we swap our places, would you understand? Lightning in my veins, your cold, cold hand Running up that hill with no problems Through the void and the neon blossoms [Outro] If I only could... Be running up that road Be running up that hill Through the government lies Through the Upside Down I'm running, running, running Till the portal closes down Till I bring you home Till I bring you home
