Happened again, just 'round the corner
Friend of a friend was just there before her
It coulda so easily been me
On high alert as it gets darker
When I hear footsteps, my heart beats harder
You wouldn't believe the things I've seen
A 12-minute walk isn't long, but it's long enough
So I'll keep hanging on the phone while I'm running down the road
'Til I'm safe and back at home again
So I'll cover up my legs 'cause I know what to expect
And it's just not worth me risking it
'Cause we've all heard the horror stories
No wonder my mum gets worried
Why can't I trust anybody?
It's better to be safe than sorry
I can't afford to always take a cab
But when I don't, I always wish I had
My knuckles go white around my keys
You don't always think when the drinks are still wearing off
A 12-minute walk isn't long, but it's long enough
So I'll keep hanging on the phone while I'm running down the road
'Til I'm safe and back at home again
So I'll cover up my legs 'cause I know what to expect
And it's just not worth me risking it
'Cause we've all heard the horror stories
No wonder my mum gets worried
Why can't I trust anybody?
It's better to be safe than sorry
It's better to be safe than sorry
Why can't I trust anybody?
It's better to be safe than sorry
