Don't Just Walk Away

Story Behind The Song

The story and lyrics follow a character who's chasing an illusive and mysterious love. When their love is near it's intoxicating and almost dream like because as soon as they get close enough for something definitive the love pulls away making the character question whether his infatuation is real and reciprocated or just a game.

Lyrics

Chorus 1-
Darlin' don't just walk away
I can't read your mind every time that you won't stay

Verse 1-
It must have been a dream
Happening in between
I don't know what it means
But you could set the scene

Chorus 2-
Darlin' don't just walk away
I can't read your mind every time that you won't stay

Verse 2-
You must have set the pace
Now I'm fit for the chase
Moving with so much grace
Each time I see your face

Chorus 3-
Darlin' don't just walk away
I can't read your mind every time that you won't stay
Darlin' don't just walk away
I can't read your mind every time that you won't stay
