Happened again
Just 'round the corner
Friend of a friend
Was just there before her
It could have so easily been me (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 (believe the things I've seen)

A twelve-minute walk isn't long, but it's long enough

So I'll keep, hangin' on the phone while I'm runnin' down the road
Till 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 riskin' 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 wearin' off
A twelve-minute walk isn't long, but it's long enough

So I'll keep, hangin' on the phone while I'm runnin' down the road
Till 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 riskin' 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

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's better to be safe than sorry
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Why can't I trust anybody?
It's better to be safe than sorry
