lyrics

I was flying down the stairs was
in a rush to nowhere new
She was gliding like an angel
up the stairs just passing threw

Well I think it’s getting warm in here

I was lonely, I was lucky,
when I stopped to say hello
I fell backwards up the stairs well,
I fell straight into her arms

Well I think it’s getting warm in here
Well I think it’s getting warm in here

This is my escalator romance
This is how I met someone new
Why would you take the stairs
When we can travel up in pairs, well
That’s how I fell in love with you
That’s how I fell in love with you

All these places, can’t remember
All these faces, can’t recall
I remember when I met you
Platforms moving, got your number

Well I think it’s getting warm in here
Well I think it’s getting warm in here

This is my escalator romance
This is how I met someone new
Why would you take the stairs
When we can travel up in pairs, well
That’s how I fell in love with you
That’s how I fell in love with you

I see lovers floating upwards
Face each other, holding on
Wonder how they met each other
It’s none of my business, it’s none of my business

Well I think it’s getting warm in here
Well I think it’s getting warm in here

This is my escalator romance
This is how I met someone new
Why would you take the stairs
When we can travel up in pairs, well
That’s how I fell in love with you
That’s how I fell in love with you
