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…
