The Stakes Were Raised - Slow Runner

Where am I gonna land?

In the palm of someone’s hand

I should have known that the good part was over

That you would leave at the end of the summer

But the stakes were raised-

And so, I looked the other way

The sky turned red

The world came true

The way I wanted you

I should have guessed that the moment was passing

I didn’t catch all the signs that were flashing

Cuz the stakes were raised…

And, so… I looked the other way

All of my hoping just turned into lying

Kidding myself without even trying

Should have noticed the whole thing was dying

But the stakes were raised

And so I looked the other way

The stakes were raised

And so I looked the other way
