Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
Dreams come slow and they go so fast
And you see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you will understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

You only need the light when it's burning low
You only miss the sun when it starts to snow
You 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
Never to touch, never to keep
Cause you loved her to much
And you dive too deep

And you only need the light when it's burning low
You only miss the sun when it starts to snow
You only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
You only hate the road when you're missin' home
You only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Oo oo oo

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