The Stakes Were Raised Songtext

von 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.
