"Running Through That Rye", A Placebo rewrite/English assignment

Me and one of my friends did this for class, so we chose the song "Running Up That Hill" by Placebo and changed the lyrics to fit Holden, etc. D said I should put it up, so here, haha.

I loved Catcher in the Rye. It was pretty boss. Spoilers, maybe??

Lyrics:
It doesn't hurt me
That's what he says but doesn't feel
Wants to know, know if Allie's still listening
Doesn't want to hear about the fact he's falling
He has a plan (to be running through that rye)
It's as if he can (be running through that...)

Like if he only could
make a deal with god
and get him to swap their places
Just to bring back Allie
and to protect Phoebe
by running through that rye
If he only could, oh

They don't want to listen
Don't want to read between his lines
Wants to know who will care for him in winter
but he always has to rephrase that question
So much hate for the ones we love
Tell me, we both matter, dont we?

Tells Phoebe (he'll be running through that rye)
His whole life he'll be (like a Catcher in the rye)
So he and Phoebe won't be unhappy

Like if he only could
make a deal with god
and get him to swap their places
By running through that rye
Running through rye
and catching all those children
If he only could, oh

Original Lyrics:
It doesn't hurt me.
You wanna feel how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making?
You *be running up that hill*
You and me *be running up that hill*

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
There is thunder in our hearts, baby.
So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

You, *be running up that hill*
You and me, *be running up that hill*
You and me won't be unhappy.
