Lyrics
Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
Appreciating the importance of light when times are tough.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Realizing the value of positive things when faced with difficulties.
Only know you love her when you let her go
Understanding the depth of love only after letting someone go.
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Recognizing the extent of highs in life during moments of low.
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Disliking the journey when it keeps you away from home.
Only know you love her when you let her go
Reiterating the realization of love's significance after it's gone.
And you let her go
Final decision to let go of the person.
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Reflecting on a difficult situation, possibly related to a failed dream.
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
Longing for a dream to endure and become a reality.
But dreams come slow, and they go so fast
Realizing the fleeting nature of dreams, coming and going quickly.
You see her when you close your eyes
Imagining the person when eyes are closed, suggesting a lingering presence.
Maybe one day, you'll understand why
Hoping for eventual understanding of the reasons behind the separation.
Everything you touch surely dies
Expressing a belief that everything touched eventually ends or dies.
Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
Reiteration of the importance of light during tough times.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Missing positive things when faced with challenges, like the warmth of the sun.
Only know you love her when you let her go
Repeating the realization of love's depth after it's gone.
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Acknowledging the highs in life during moments of low.
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Disliking the journey when it keeps one away from home.
Only know you love her when you let her go
Reiterating the realization of love's significance after it's gone.
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Contemplating a difficult situation in solitude.
Same old empty feeling in your heart
Feeling emptiness and familiarity in the heart, possibly due to lost love.
'Cause love comes slow, and it goes so fast
Stating the slow arrival and quick departure of love.
Well, you see her when you fall asleep
Imagining the person during sleep, a presence that can't be physically embraced.
But never to touch and never to keep
Highlighting the inability to hold onto the imagined presence.
'Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep
Suggesting that the intensity of love led to its demise.
Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
Reiterating the importance of light during tough times.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Missing positive things when faced with challenges, like the warmth of the sun.
Only know you love her when you let her go
Repeating the realization of love's depth after it's gone.
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Acknowledging the highs in life during moments of low.
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Disliking the journey when it keeps one away from home.
Only know you love her when you let her go
Reiterating the realization of love's significance after it's gone.
And you let her go
Final confirmation of letting go of the person.
