成长是一场战斗

Taylor Swift

每个人都在等待

每个人都在看台

即使进入梦乡

也要时刻提防

难解的是，昨天我们还只是小孩

扮演成士兵，只是假装

还做着快乐结局的梦想

在后院用木剑横扫战场

可现在我们已踏入残酷世间

这里人人都在驻足评判

你要时刻提防

每个人都在等待，等着你失败

每个人都在看台，看你被淘汰

即使进入梦乡，进入梦乡

也要时刻提防

也要时刻提防

也要时刻提防

所以你才暂时领先，时刻提防

每一次教训都刻下新伤

他们不曾想到，你的坚持如此久长

一转身，噢，四处全是敌人

这是最后较量，现在没人可以帮忙

可他们没有你的专长

是的，他们没有你的专长

你要随时随地保持提防

步伐要坚定

莫要太慌张

你要时刻提防

目标要紧盯

夜色渐苍茫

你要时刻提防

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
