I don't wanna hold your hand
There's a shadow crawling over, over us
And it's wrapping round my neck and squeezing
The streets are vacant but they're always watching
Your affection is a target still and
It's not safe round here (not safe round here)
No matter where we stand (no matter where we stand)
Save it for later, 'cause I don't wanna hold your hand
You get that liberal sense of security
Because you're forgetting where you are
So visible
I close my eyes and your fingers lock mine
And that's enough to feed the blood to the wolves
It's not safe round here (not safe round here)
No matter where we stand (no matter where we stand)
Save it for later, 'cause I don't wanna hold your hand
I don't wanna hold your hand
You're only as safe as they let you
There's an ugly limit to acceptance
Dictated by visibility of your sexuality
Save it for later, 'cause I don't wanna hold your
I don't wanna hold your
I don't wanna hold your
I don't wanna hold your hand
I don't wanna hold your hand
I don't wanna hold your hand
I don't wanna hold your hand
I don't wanna hold your hand
