Lyrics The Stakes Were Raised - Slow Runner

The Stakes Were Raised

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
