Playing It Safe

You've had a set of rules that you called your own
A moral code that you got from home
It's half past 10 PM
And you're still out on a date with him
It's a little late, you really should get home
But he's so smooth he keeps you there till dawn
The first of many more
He gets you to do what you would not before

"Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
He says "Playing it safe won't take you all the way"

Drugs, drinks, and nicotine
Afraid to use what is within your reach
"You won't know until you try"
Soon you feel your brain flying to the sky
He's got a cigarette between his fingertips
A strong jawline and every suit's slim fit
He's got fast cars, limousines, friends on tap
And everyday's a roller coaster drop
There's no cool down or take a break, it never stops
At 3 AM another party starts

"Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
He says "Playing it safe won't take you all the way"

In his car you find a makeup bag
Some lipstick shades that you've never had
You can't face the wake up call
You're too caught up in the race to stall
Still your jealousy keeps the lust alive
You want it to last but it's a roll of the dice
You wake up and he's not there
There's no remorse, he left without a care

"Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
He says "Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
He says "Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
He says "Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
All the way
"Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
He says "Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
He says "Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
He says "Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
He says "Playing it safe won't take you all the way"
