Stranded

Moving faster and you're talking loud
We'd settle for a while
You know how to do it all
And I wonder how

You could be more careful when you speak
You tend to slip, your words are weak
Just like a hasty promise
On New Year's Eve

When your feet are moving easily
And the fireworks are on
You're exactly where you want to be
You still lie a stepping stone
Make sure you notice every time you see
Each and every slope of the road
Get rid of all potential enemies
To reach your final goal

You tell yourself this is the only way
And you won't give it away
I tell myself that's the day when I
Let it slide

Do make sure that they will pay for all
Your effort's safe this way
Do make sure they all let go
When you make your way

Will you still be there to fill me in
When the last night is coming in?
When you've figured out what to expect
And there's nothing more to take in
Make sure you notice every tendency
If you still need something more
Cause when the final day is closing in
You won't see me there anymore

When your feet are moving easily
And the fireworks are on
You're exactly where you want to be
You still lie a stepping stone
Make sure you notice every tendency
Each and every slope of the road
Get rid of all potential enemies
To reach your final goal
