Well 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 missin' home 
Only know your lover when you've let her go 
And you let her go 

Staring at the bottom of your glass 
Hoping one day you will make a dream last 
The [bad word] slow and it goes so fast 
You see her when you close your eyes 
Maybe one day you will understand why 
Everything you touch all it 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've let her go 
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 
Only hate the road when you're missin' home 
Only know your lover when you've let her go 

Staring at the ceiling in the dark 
Same all empty feeling in your heart  [bad word] slow and it goes so fast 
Well you see her when you fall asleep 
But never to touch and never to keep 
Because you loved her to 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 your lover when you've let her go 
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 
Only hate the road when you're missin' home 
Only know your lover when you've let her go
