Well you only need the light when it's burnin' low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her, when you let her go
Only know you've been high, when you're feelin' low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her, when you let her go
And you let her go
Starin' at the bottom of your gla**
Hopin' one day you make her dream last
But dreams come slow
And they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch, oh, it dies
But you only need the light when it's burnin' low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her, when you let her go
Only know you've been high, when you're feelin' low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her, when you let her go
Starin' at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow
And it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burnin' low
Only miss the sun, when it starts to snow
Only know you love her, when you let her go
Only know you've been high, when you're feelin' low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her, when you let her go
And you let her go
