[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 Christmas lights spell your name in code Compass spinning on a gravel road The lab coats lied about what they found Now you're lost in that hollow sound [Pre-Chorus ] If I only could, I'd break the seal Shatter the glass, make the nightmare kneel The clock strikes twelve where the shadows feed 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 [Bridge ] And the walls are breathing, pulsing red Voices whisper what was never said Synthesizers scream your name I'd burn it all to end this game Come on, baby, come on, darling Let me steal you from the dark thing Trade my soul for one more sunrise See the terror leave your eyes [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 [Outro ] If I only could... Be running up that road Be running up that hill Through the static and the code Through the Upside Down I'm running, running, running Till I bring you home Till I bring you home
