[Verse 1]
You said you’re tired of this town
Same four streets
Going in rounds
I trace maps on your wrist
Like we could leave just doing this
Late bus home
Flickering glass
Your face there
Then it’s the past
You ask me
“Are we too late?”
I taste the word on my tongue and say
[Chorus]
If I could run my heart uphill
Trade every fear for how you feel
I’d take your weight
I’d take your will
Just to know what it’s like
What it’s like inside your mind
If I could run my heart uphill
Cross all the lines we said we’d keep
I’d carry every secret
Every dream
Just to know what it’s like
What it’s like when you’re not mine
[Verse 2]
We dance slow in your blue room
Old song stuck in cheap perfume
You laugh once
But your eyes fade
Like you’re already miles away
You say love’s a loaded dice
You want truth
But not the price
I’d break every rule we wrote
If I could slip beneath your ghost
[Chorus]
If I could run my heart uphill
Trade every fear for how you feel
I’d take your weight
I’d take your will
Just to know what it’s like
What it’s like inside your mind
If I could run my heart uphill
Cross all the lines we said we’d keep
I’d carry every secret
Every dream
Just to know what it’s like
What it’s like when you’re not mine
[Bridge]
Tell me
If we switched the pain
Would you stay
Would you stay the same? (would you stay?)
If every tear you never cried
Fell from my eyes tonight
I’d still climb
I’d still crawl
Just to feel anything at all
If I lose
If I fall
I would give you it all
[Chorus]
If I could run my heart uphill
Trade every fear for how you feel
I’d take your weight
I’d take your will
Just to know what it’s like
What it’s like inside your mind
If I could run my heart uphill
Cross all the lines we said we’d keep
I’d carry every secret
Every dream
Just to know what it’s like
What it’s like when you’re not mine (not mine)
What it’s like when you’re not mine
