Well you only need the light when 
 it's burning 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 feeling low
 Only hate the road when you're 
 missing home
 Only know your lover when you let 
 her go
 And you let her go

 Staring at the bottom of your glass
 Hoping one day you'll make a 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, surely dies

 But you only need the light when it's 
 burning low
 Only miss the sun when it starts to 
 snow
 Only know your lover when you let 
 her go
 Only know you've been high when 
 you're feeling low
 Only hate the road when you're 
 missing home
 Only know you love her when you let 
 her go

 Staring 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 
 dive too deep

 Well you only need the light when 
 it's burning 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 feeling low
 Only hate the road when you're 
 missing home
 Only know your lover when you let 
 her go
 And you let her go
 Oh oh oh no
 And you let her go
 Oh oh oh no
 Well you let her go

 'Cause you only need the light when 
 it's burning low
 Only miss the sun when it starts to 
 snow
 Only know your lover when you let 
 her go
 Only know you've been high when 
 you're feeling low
 Only hate the road when you're 
 missing home
 Only know your lover when you let 
 her go

 'Cause you only need the light when 
 it's burning low
 Only miss the sun when it starts to 
 snow
 Only know your lover when you let 
 her go
 Only know you've been high when 
 you're feeling low
 Only hate the road when you're 
 missing home
 Only know your lover her when you let 
 her go
 And you let her go
