Bow Anderson - 12 Minute Walk

Happened again
Just round the corner
Friend of a friend
Was just there before her
It could have 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 twelve-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
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 risking it

Cos 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 twelve-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
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 risking it

Cos 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
