Lyrics

Escalator

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The whole city’s on fast forward

Blink twice and you’re in for the race

Not even quite rush hour

And I can’t keep up with the pace of it all

The weight of the fall

So we ride the wave

People tripping over my feet

Escalator moving too fast for me

Don’t you ever go slowly

You won’t ever bring me to my knees

Won’t give in

If it’s sink or we swim I’ll float away

With all these good intentions

Something’s still not right

I’ve been drowning in possessions

Clinging on for dear life

Is it enough?

Tell me is it enough?

When you ask yourself the question

Can you feel it in your bones?

Is it enough? Oh ooh

I don’t wanna get political

But when we all pull together we don’t fall

Would it be so terrible

If we all held each other so much more than we do?

Am I getting through to you?

Will you break the chain?

Take a minute to consider it

Let go of all we’re convinced we need

Together we can make more of this

Together we can do more to walk the same direction

Form a real connection along the way

With all these good intentions

Something’s still not right

I’ve been drowning in possessions

Clinging on for dear life

Is it enough?

Tell me is it enough?

When you ask yourself the question

Do you feel it in your bones?

Is it enough? Oh ooh

When you ask yourself the question

Do you feel it in your bones?

Are you holding on to something

You’re afraid of letting go?

Is it enough?

Tell me is it enough? Oh ooh

When you ask yourself the question

Do you feel it in your bones?

Is it enough? Oh ooh

Is it enough
