Escalator Lyrics by Melanie C

Version of Me

2016

[Verse 1]
The whole city is on fast forward
Blink twice and you're in for the race
Not even quite a 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 mad 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

[Pre-Chorus]
With all these good intentions
Something's still not right
I've been drowning in possessions
Clinging on for dear life

[Chorus]
Is it enough?
Oh, tell me, is it enough?
When you ask yourself the question
Can you feel it in your bones?
Is it enough?

[Verse 2]
I don't wanna get political
But when we all put together we don't fall
Would it be so terrible if we all held each other so much more?
Then we do
Am I getting through to you when 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 of walk that same direction
Form a real connection along the way

[Pre-Chorus]
With all these good intentions
Something's still not right
I've been drowning in possessions
Clinging on for dear life

[Chorus]
Is it enough?
Oh, tell me, is it enough?
When you ask yourself the question
Can you feel it in your bones?
Is it enough?

[Bridge]
When you ask yourself the question
Can you feel it in your bones?
Are you holding onto something you're afraid of letting go?

[Chorus]
Is it enough?
Oh, tell me, is it enough?
When you ask yourself the question
Can you feel it in your bones?
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
