Escalator

Album: Version Of Me (2016)

  • 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?

    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?

    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?
    When you ask yourself the question do you feel it in your bones?
    Is it enough?
    Is it enough? Writer/s: MELANIE CHISHOLM, RICHARD DAVID JUDGE, THOMAS BRUCE WILDING
