“Not Running” is a surprising and uncharacteristically hopeful song for The Beths, about a point in a new relationship when the narrator gives up her fear, her self-doubt, and her reluctance to commit and risk her heart. The narrator decides to tell her partner the truth of how she really feels, and...
[Verse 1]
This stays in this room
Don't take it with you
If I told the truth
Then what would you do
[Verse 2]
How can we rely
Demand and supply
If you said goodbye
Would that be a lie?
[Chorus]
Breathe aloud
I promise it won't freak me out
I'm not running away
Open mouth
I wanna hear that broken sound
Tell me to stay
Oh, I'm not running away
[Verse 3]
Too far to be near
Are you really here
Its alright to be scared
I feel you in fear
[Chorus]
Breathe aloud
I promise it won't freak me out
I'm not running away
Open mouth
I wanna hear that broken sound
Tell me to stay
Oh, I'm not running away
[Outro]
(Breathe aloud)
(I promise it won't freak me out)
(I'm not running away)
Oh, I'm not running away
(Open mouth)
(I wanna hear that broken sound)
(Tell me to stay)
Oh, I'm not running away
(Breathe aloud)
(I promise it won't freak me out)
(Not running away)
Not running away
(Open mouth)
(I wanna hear that broken sound)
(Tell me to stay)
I'm not running away
