Daughter began teasing a new project when they posted an image on social media, and updated their website to allow visitors to subscribe to a mailing list and receive physical “junkmail”.

[Verse 1]
I won't hold you back
Time throws us along
And there is never just one human
That the heart should lone belong
And you won't hold me back
We cannot quiet fade
Beneath the centre of the stage
So I'll meet you on another planet if the plans change
[Refrain]
Be on your way
Be on your way
Be on your way
Be on your way
[Verse 2]
And if I make it back
To this blue and pink ceiling
Will I have ever seen
Such beautiful midsummers?
I will try and find you
Maybe we could reconstruct the scenе?
I have a feeling
That we'll repеat this evening
[Refrain]
So be on your way
Be on your way
Be on your way
Be on your way
[Verse 3]
I won't hold you back
Time throws us around
And there is never just one future plan
Our lifetime dreams aren't bound
And you won't hold me back
Won't keep ourselves awake
Believe me friend, my soul estranged
I will meet you on another planet if the plans change
[Outro]
I have a feeling
That we'll repeat this evening
So be on your way
Be on your way
