Where We Land
- ED SHEERAN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Treat me beneath this clear night sky
And I will lie with you
I start to feel those butterflies
When I'm next to you

Tell me your secrets
Give me a friend
Let all the good times flood in
Do I love you?
Do I hate you?
I can't make up my mind
So let's freefall
See where we land

It's been this way since we were young
We'll fight and then make up
I'll breathe your air into my lungs
When I feel your touch

Tell me your secrets
Give me a friend
Let all the good times flood in
Do I love you?
Do I hate you?
I can't make up my mind




So let's freefall
And see where we land

Overall Meaning

The song "Where We Land" by Ed Sheeran is about a relationship that is surrounded by uncertainty. The singer is torn between loving and hating his partner and struggling to make a decision. The lyrics convey a feeling of vulnerability and indecisiveness that is often present in relationships. The song is full of metaphors, and the lyrics are quite insightful.


The first verse of the song speaks about lying under the clear night sky and feeling butterflies when the singer is close to his partner. This depicts the idea of being vulnerable and exposed to the beauty of the situation. The second verse highlights the fact that the relationship has been this way since they were young- they argue and then make up, and the singer breathes his partner's air into his lungs, which shows the singer's dependency on his partner.


The chorus "Do I love you? Do I hate you? I can't make up my mind," shows the singer's inability to make a decision. Instead, the singer suggests that they "freefall" and see where they land. This line is again metaphorical and suggests taking a risk, being spontaneous, and discovering where the relationship will take them. This is the main theme of the song- the journey is more important than the destination.
