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
And 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

Da-da-da, da
Da-da-da, da
Da-da-da, da
Da-da-da, da
Da-da-da, da
Da-da-da, da

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Where We Land" by Ed Sheeran is all about falling in love and taking the leap into the unknown, not knowing where your relationship will lead. The singer is talking to his love interest, asking them to open up to him, share their secrets with him and be his friend. He's not sure if he loves or hates them, but he's willing to take the risk and free fall to see where they end up. The opening lines of "Treat me beneath this clear night sky and I will lie with you" evoke a sense of romance and setting the stage for a passionate encounter. When he's with his love interest, he starts to "feel those butterflies". These physical sensations of excitement, giddiness, and nervousness that often accompany the start of a new romance.

The singer is comfortable admitting that he can't quite make up his mind about his feelings towards his love interest. Instead, he proposes to take the risk to free fall to see where their relationship will land. This expression of vulnerability demonstrates that it is okay to take risks and go after what we want in love, even if we do not know the ultimate outcome. The lyrics "It's been this way since we were young, we'll fight and then make up" highlight the complexity of relationships and how they change and evolve over time. What was once a tumultuous, on-again-off-again love can turn into a solid, long-term relationship. Ultimately, the song is about taking a chance, being open, and accepting the ups and downs of love.

Treat me beneath this clear night sky
Under the stars, be with me in a special way

And I will lie with you
I want to be close to you

I start to feel those butterflies
Being near you is exciting and makes me nervous

When I'm next to you
In your company, always by your side

Tell me your secrets
Share your deepest thoughts with me

Give me a friend
Be more than just someone I date, be my companion

Let all the good times flood in
Let's enjoy every moment together

Do I love you? Do I hate you?
I can't figure out how I feel about you

I can't make up my mind
Uncertainty clouds my judgment

So let's freefall
Let's take a risk and not hold back

And see where we land
Let's not worry about the outcome and see where life takes us
