Story Behind The Song
No back story. Just pure craft.
Song Description
In life these days (and probably since forever ago), things don't come your way if you don't put yourself in position to take advantage of an opportunity. This is true in the love arena as in most other areas of life. This song cajoles the listener not to "run and hide" from love.

Lyrics
VERSE
I thought I saw you, but then like a ghost you were gone
How can love come along if your love is never home?
CHORUS
(Oh) (Yes) Love will find you but not if you run and hide
If you do, your fire, your desire, will never be satisfied
Yes, love will find you but only if you don't deny
Love the chance to watch two worlds collide
So please don't keep your love all bottled up inside
'Cause love will find you but not if you run and hide
VERSE
Most everything you do makes me know you're lookin' for love
But when love gets too near, you disappear
What are you thinkin' of?
Repeat CHORUS
VERSE
Nothing ventured, nothing gained; the world can be full of pain
But love is all around, looking for you if you want to be found
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
So please don't keep your love all bottled up inside
Oh, yes, love will find you, girl, but not if you run and hide
