Don't Point, Don't Scare It Lyrics

We hide behind the hills
We walk through tunneled fields
And no-one sees us holding hands

Love
Don't point
Don't scare it
Oh
Love
Don't point
Don't scare it

We sneak into the trees
We hide beneath the leaves
And nobody will find us here

We dance across the lake
We laugh into the wind
And nobody will find us out

Love
Don't point
Don't scare it
Oh
Love
Don't point
Don't scare it
Please

We creep along the lanes
We sneak through seven gates
We pass a flock of birds who didn't flinch a feather
This cliff will keep us safe
We hide beneath its walls
Alone again, as it's time to kiss

Love
Don't point
Don't scare it
Oh
Love
Don't point
Don't scare it
Oh
Love
Love
Love
Don't point
Don't scare it

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i disagree. i think it's really about new love. you get the sense of how fragile it is, it's like seeing a deer in the woods.

This is about a love you can't have out in the open. You have to go somewhere in secret to be able to enjoy every minute of that person, rather than hiding in the shadows and constantly having to look over your shoulder to make sure no one will see you. It's that love that you can't tell you friends about. It's that relationship or fling or whatever, that you're not ashamed of, but you just can't tell all your friends about it. In the song, they're going to that peaceful place where it's OK to be together.

I think it could be interpreted either way, depending on what the listener has gone through and relates to the most.
