成長是一場戰斗

Taylor Swift

每個人都在等待

每個人都在看臺

即使進入夢鄉

也要時刻提防

難解的是，昨天我們還只是小孩

扮演成士兵，只是假裝

還做著快樂結局的夢想

在后院用木劍橫掃戰場

可現在我們已踏入殘酷世間

這里人人都在駐足評判

你要時刻提防

每個人都在等待，等著你失敗

每個人都在看臺，看你被淘汰

即使進入夢鄉，進入夢鄉

也要時刻提防

也要時刻提防

也要時刻提防

所以你才暫時領先，時刻提防

每一次教訓都刻下新傷

他們不曾想到，你的堅持如此久長

一轉身，噢，四處全是敵人

這是最后較量，現在沒人可以幫忙

可他們沒有你的專長

是的，他們沒有你的專長

你要隨時隨地保持提防

步伐要堅定

莫要太慌張

你要時刻提防

目標要緊盯

夜色漸蒼茫

你要時刻提防

Everybody's waiting

Everybody's watching

Even when you're sleeping

Keep your eyes open

The tricky thing as yesterday we were just children

Playing soldiers just pretending

Dreaming dreams with happy endings

In backyards， winning battles with our wooden swords

But now we've stepped into a cruel world

Where everybody stands to keep score

Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to break down

Everybody's watching to see the fallout

Even when you're sleeping， sleeping

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

So here you are， two steps ahead and staying on guard

Every lesson forms a new scar

They never thought you'd make it this far

But turn around， oh they've surrounded you

It's a showdown， and nobody comes to save you now

But you've got something they don't

Yeah you've got something they don't

You've just got to keep your eyes open

Keep your feet ready

Heartbeat steady

Keep your eyes open

Keep your aim locked

The night goes dark

Keep your eyes open
