[Verse 1]
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)
[Pre-Chorus]
A twelve-minute walk isn't long
But it's long enough
[Chorus]
So I'll keep, hangin' on the phone while I'm runnin' down the road
Till I'm safе and back at home again
So I'll cover up my legs 'causе 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 mom gets worried
Why can't I trust anybody?
It's better to be safe than sorry
[Verse 2]
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 (Around my keys)
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't always think when the drinks are still
Wearin' off
A twelve-minute walk isn't long
But it's long enough
[Chorus]
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 mom gets worried
Why can't I trust anybody?
It's better to be safe than sorry
[Outro]
Ooh (Hey that's me, just back in now, did you get home okay?)
Ooh (Did you just want to stay at mine? Stay safe)
Ooh (Hey, it's me, um, I've just got home, I haven't heard from you)
(It was so good to see you tonight, and I just wanted, hey love)
Ooh (Text me when you get home, so I know you're safe)
It's better to be safe than sorry (I'm about to be at the intersection)
Ooh (Don't forget to talk to me when you get home, promise?)
Ooh (Um, it was so good to see you tonight, and I just wanted)
Ooh (To make sure you got home alright)
Why can't I trust anybody?
It's better to be safe than sorry
