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'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 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 ceilin'

in the dark

same old empty feelin'

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-oh...

oh-woah... oh, no...

and you let her go-oh...

oh-woah... oh, no...

well, you let her go...

'Cause 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

'Cause 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
