Story behind the song

Inspired by a one-on-the-road, one-left-at-home relationship, but applicable to anyone experiencing a long separation and the anxiety that goes with it.

Lyrics

Well we meant it when we said it,
But will time make you forget the way you feel?
And without your arms around me,
It gets harder to remember what is real

And there's nothing we can do when life takes us far away
But to hang onto the memory of how we felt yesterday

      Until I hear otherwise… I'll assume you're loving me like I love you
      Until I hear otherwise… I'll believe it's safe to feel the way I do
      But should you feel otherwise… then please let me down as gently as you can
      But until I hear otherwise… I'll continue loving you like we had planned

Well the miles are growing longer,
And the fear is getting stronger every day
That you'll forget who you belong to
Let another's smile steal your heart away

And if nothing's changed, then chalk it up to insecurity
Rest assured that when you come home, you'll find me waiting patiently

      Until I hear otherwise… I'll assume you're loving me like I love you
      Until I hear otherwise… I'll believe it's safe to feel the way I do
      But should you feel otherwise… then please let me down as gently as you can
      But until I hear otherwise… I'll continue loving you like we had planned

(solo)

And if nothing's changed, then chalk it up to insecurity
Rest assured that when you come home, I'll be waiting patiently

      Until I hear otherwise… I'll assume you're loving me like I love you
      Until I hear otherwise… I'll believe it's safe to feel the way I do
      But should you feel otherwise… then please let me down as gently as you can
      But until I hear otherwise… I'll continue loving you like we had planned
      Until I hear otherwise... until I hear otherwise...
