Slow Runner - The Stakes Were Raised Lyrics

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
In the way I wanted you
I should have guessed that the moment was passing
I didn't catch all the signs that were flashing
Cause the stakes were raised
And so I looked the other way

All of my hoping just turned into lying
Kidding myself without even trying
I 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
