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 you love her when you let her go, yeah-yeah 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 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 Oh, 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, yeah-yeah 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 Oh, when you let her go Oh, you let her go Mmm, yeah-yeah But 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 you love her when you let her go And you let her go Oh, yeah-yeah, yeah And you let her go
