Staircase Lyrics

Pass them on the staircase don't look at them different

Does it really work if we don't feel our feelings

Can you hear it coming

Can you find it a meaning

Does it really hurt if I don't help the healing

Help me to help you so you can help yourself

You can start by putting your phone down and focus on self

Nine seconds later and I've lost your attention In the span of five seconds you'll be walking alone

Three seconds later you'll be screaming for help

And next time I wake up put my books on the shelf

Take in what they wrote so they know that you heard

Don't leave a boy stranded with his face in the dirt

Don't leave a man stranded with only his skills and his wits

Both will come back harder than a bad habit

And once they come back there'll be nowhere to run

Block it out, mute it now, ignore it

But what you can't do is know how to stop it

Put the ball on the spot and best believe you ain't scoring

Been around the country and still did no touring

And best believe you're boring

Pass them on the staircase don't look at them different

Does it really work if we don't feel our feelings

Can you hear it coming

Can you find it a meaning

Does it really hurt if I don't help the healing

If a tree falls in a forest can you hear it scream

Do you feel it's spirit floating in the breeze

Do you hear it cry out when no one's there to help

I guess that's what happens when we isolate ourselves

Till it's too late

Bow out, don't shout

Don't move, don't jump

Don't stop right now

Just keep your eyes focused on the here and now

Are we really in it for the money, the power, respect

Or do you just want it for the fame and clout

Blink and you'll miss it

Blink and you'll cry out

Wonder what happened as the universe took time out

To wave back and cast its gaze over the sky tonight

The same way it's done for all time

Makes life seem so small

And when you realise what it takes

To watch over this place

Watch it rise and fall

So when you walk past another person today

Just make sure you've got it in you

To find a way to tell them it's alright, it's fine

We're all in this together

And if we aren't in it as one

We're never in at all

And that's the way it ends

So brace as we fall

Pass them on the staircase don't look at them different

Does it really work if we don't feel our feelings

Can you hear it coming

Can you find it a meaning

Does it really hurt if I don't help the healing
