Escalator

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
