Sometimes, love is what causes us to run away...

lyrics

Don’t Run Away

Words and Music by Doug Osborne

that’s not the hot, that’s the cold, you clown
you forgot to bring the laundry down
how you ever gonna cross the street
if they weren’t screwed on tight, you’d forget your feet
you can walk away from your boring job
keep your distance from an angry mob
scream if a pigeon greets you from above
but if you see love

Don’t Run Away…

you say you’re troubled, got to see a shrink
see if he can resolve your fears, try to make you think
shallow brooks babble loud
with your neuroses, you’d stand out in any crowd
you can have some fun thinking its a sin
take a brand new thought, try to fit it in
you can put your hand where its never been
but when you feel love

Don’t Run Away..

your anxiety will be the death of me
I empathize with your entropy
existential angst will never set you free

Don’t Run Away…
