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 glass 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
