Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me
HARRIS LOSTON Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone told someone and someone told you
But they wouldn't hurt you, not much
Since everyone spread the story
With his own little personal touch

Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will
Do nothin' till you hear from me

Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill




But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will

Line by Line Meaning

Someone told someone and someone told you
Rumors often get passed around, and by the time they reach you, they may have been embellished or altered in some way.


But they wouldn't hurt you, not much
The rumors might not be intentionally hurtful, but they can still cause harm or damage.


Since everyone spread the story / With his own little personal touch
Each person who passes on the rumor adds their own interpretation or spin to it, making it more difficult to separate fact from fiction.


Do nothin' till you hear from me / Pay no attention to what's said
The best course of action when hearing gossip is to wait until you have all the facts before taking action or making judgments.


Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream / Is over my head
The singer is unsure why people feel the need to spread rumors or harm others, as it is something they do not personally understand.


At least consider our romance / If you should take the word of others you've heard / I haven't a chance
If the rumors are about the singer's relationship with the listener, they ask that the listener consider the strength of their own relationship rather than listening to speculation and gossip.


True I've been seen with someone new / But does that mean that I'm untrue
Although the singer has been seen with another person, it does not necessarily mean that they are cheating or being unfaithful to their partner.


When we're apart the words in my heart / Reveal how I feel about you
The singer's true feelings for the listener are evident when they are not together, and rumors should not be allowed to overshadow that.


Some kiss may cloud my memory / And other arms may hold a thrill / But please do nothin' till you hear it from me / And you never will
Although the singer may have kissed another or been held by someone else, the listener should not jump to conclusions without hearing the full story from the singer themselves. The singer assures the listener that they will not hear anything directly from them that would substantiate the rumors.
