Lyrics Escalator - Tahiti 80

Escalator

Coming down the escalator
I think saw you
it’s been a while but of course I remember
it was the face i knew
I’m walking off the escalator
and I don’t have a clue
where to go now, I can only
remember how I lost you
You looked a little older,
I felt just like an actor looking for a line
I’ll pull myself together
it’s gonna take a while to get you off my mind
I don’t wanna go there (oh no!)
I think about it but I know i really gotta move on
couldn’t we start over (oh yeah!)
I really wanna try it but it’s never gonna happen
Here
I am up on the platform
feel like I’ve just seen a ghost
I want to stop and give it some thought
but it’s too late, and you’re through the gate
Time for me to jump on the train
I’m being pushed by the crowd
who knows you might come back again
tomorrow I’ll get up earlier
Back when we were younger
thought we had it all and were going the extra mile
I’ll pull myself together
it’s gonna take a while to get you off my mind
I don’t wanna go there
(oh no!)
I think about it but I know i really gotta move on
we could be better lovers (oh yeah!)
I really wanna find out but it’s never going to happen
Coming down the escalator
I think saw you
it’s been a while but of course I remember
it was the face i knew
You looked a little older,
I felt just like an actor looking for a line
I’ll pull myself together
it’s gonna take a while to get you off my mind
I don’t wanna go there (oh no!)
I think about it but I know i really gotta move on
couldn’t we start over (oh yeah!)
I really wanna try it but it’s never gonna happen
I’m walking off the escalator
and I don’t have a clue
where to go now, I can only
remember how I lost you
I don’t wanna go there (oh no!)
I think about it but I know i really gotta move on…
