Default Fuel Pump still running after shut off??

Ok so I have been searching throughout the site for other owners with the same problem. Im new to VW (and I love it!) so im still trying to learn as much as possible. Ive been a gearhead for years so im fine with the DIY part of mechanics. So im trying to figure this out on my 07beetle. It started a week ago, where i shut the car off and i can hear the fuel pump still running. Its not loud but i can hear the faint vibration from the tank. I ramped the car and sure enough it sounded like the in-tank pump. So i pull the fuse out from the cab and bam its off. My question (other than what ive read from the door prime) is if this is normal. It eventually shuts off but im paraniod its going to burn out the pump. ... so relay?? any help is greatly welcomed! oh and the car only has 35,000 miles on its 2.5
