12 Minute Walk

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
