ABOUT THIS SONG
On the surface, this is a song about those moments of falling in love, where you want to dive in, but you also know the value of taking it slow.

At its heart, it's an anthem for the moments in our life when we want to make it all happen according to plan, but the beauty comes in letting it land.

lyrics

LYRICS

I’ve got let it land before I fly
Yeah I’ve got to reach the ground before I touch the sky
What am I to do all I wanna do is talk to you
Oh I’ve got to let it land

I can give you all the space you need
You can take all the time you want with me
The ice may be cracking right beneath our feet
All we need to do is breathe

Let it land let it land
Let it land let it land

Rainbow moon on a greyscale sky
Frozen Lake, silhouette of pines
Oh these old trees know you can't rush takin it slow
We’ve got to let it land maybe through the winter we will grow

Together we can try to read the stars
We’ll search for Ursa minor, see Venus from afar
Never mind the satellites let’s start from where we are
yeah when you’re used to traveling light years it's the wait that’s hard

I’ve got let it land before I fly
Yeah I’ve got to reach the ground before I touch the sky
What am I to do, to myself I must stay true
So I’m gonna let it land
‘Cuz I wanna go the distance with you

Let it land let it land
Let it land let it land
