Wolf was inspired to write Play It Safe after getting out of the shower and changing in front of her window.

[Chorus]
Change in front of the window
That's what's up
Pruny hands in your bathtub
Think I'll never fall in love
[Post-Chorus]
Play it safe even when I'm drunk
Play it safe even when I'm drunk
[Verse 1]
Crossing my fingers I believe in luck
I just want more. but I'm feeling so stuck
Left all my burdens outside of my house
I run away when I start to feel doubt
I'm giving advice on things I don't know about
I said 'I love you' when I did not mean it
Don't listen to me I'm just bleeding it out
I'm just bleeding it out
[Chorus]
Change in front of the window
That's what's up
Pruny hands in your bathtub
Think I'll never fall in love
[Post-Chorus]
Play it safe even when I'm drunk
Play it safe even when I'm drunk
[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Change in front of the window
That's what's up
Pruny hands in your bathtub
Think I'll never fall in love
[Outro]
Play it safe even when I'm drunk
Play it safe even when I'm drunk
