[Hook] Well you only need the light when it's burning 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 feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go And you let her go...
[Verse 1] Staring at the bottom of your glass Hoping 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
[Hook] But you only need the light when it's burning 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 feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go
[Verse 2] 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 But never to touch and never to keep 'Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep
[Hook] Well you only need the light when it's burning 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 feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go And you let her go...
[Bridge] Oh, oh, woah, oh, oh And you let her go Oh, oh, woah, oh, oh When you let her go Whoa
[Hook] 'Cause you only need the light when it's burning 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 feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go 'Cause you only need the light when it's burning 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 feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go And you let her go...
One went out at a bus stop in Edinburgh One went out in an english park One went out in a nightclub when I was fifteen Little lights in my heart
One went out when I lied to my mother Said the cigarettes she found were not mine One went out within me now I smoke like a chimney Its getting dark in this heart of mine Its getting dark in this heart of mine
We're born with millions of little lights shining in the dark And they show us the way One lights up Every time you feel love in your heart One dies when it moves away
One went out in the backstreets of Manchester One went out in an airport in Spain One went out I've no doubt when I grew up and moved out Of the place where the boy used to play
One went out when uncle ben got his tumour We used to fish and I fish no more Though he will not return I know one still burns On a fishing boat off the new jersey shore On a fishing boat off the new jersey shore
We're born with millions of little lights shining in the dark And they show us the way One lights up Every time we feel love in our hearts One dies when it moves away
We're born with millions of little lights shining in our hearts And they die along the way Till we're old and we're cold And lying in the dark Cos they'll all burn out one day They'll all burn out one day They'll all burn out one day They'll all burn out one day
