Lyrics
She was uncomfortable
She'd been waiting all year to see the band play their show
She had squeezed to the front
She had no idea the man behind her was on the hunt
When the band played their new song
The one she'd been preparing so she could sing along
She felt his hand on her back
Just one small movement can cause a panic attack
He said that she was pretty
So romantic when he's shouting it in her ear
He could show her the city
He thinks he's on a date while she's frozen in fear
What do we have to do
We just wanna take up space without feeling unsafe
We always lose
There's just so much advice, we're never doing it right
Never drink, tell a friend
Don't walk alone, don't talk to men
It doesn't matter in the end
What do we have to do
To live like you
She was sat on the bus
The last thing that she wanted was to make a fuss
He leaned across, snatched her book
The things a man will do just to make a girl look
She said no, she's okay
He kept on pressing her until she said she was gay
He said cool, thinks she's still hot
Has she ever thought of maybe giving a guy a shot
She got off two stops early
At least walking's not too bad at this time of year
She's mad she's turning thirty
But still a man like that can make her freeze in fear
What do we have to do
We just wanna take up space without feeling unsafe
We always lose
There's just so much advice, we're never doing it right
Never drink, tell a friend
Don't walk alone, don't talk to men
It doesn't matter in the end
What do we have to do
To live like you
I can't say I'm not scared sometimes
It's hard to fight it when bad news is all that you hear
But I won't let myself be confined
We'll show them that we can't be controlled by fear
What do we have to do
We just wanna take up space without feeling unsafe
We always lose
There's just so much advice, we're never doing it right
Never drink, tell a friend
Don't walk alone, don't talk to men
It doesn't matter in the end
What do we have to do
To live like you
