Well, you only need the light when it's burning low 00:37

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 00:41

Only know you love her when you let her go 00:45

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 00:50

Only hate the road when you're missing home 00:55

Only know you love her when you let her go 00:58

And you let her go 01:03

Staring at the bottom of your glass 01:17

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last 01:21

But dreams come slow, and they go so fast 01:24

You see her when you close your eyes 01:30

Maybe one day, you'll understand why 01:34

Everything you touch surely dies 01:38

But you only need the light when it's burning low 01:44

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 01:47

Only know you love her when you let her go 01:51

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 01:54

Only hate the road when you're missing home 02:01

Only know you love her when you let her go 02:04

Staring at the ceiling in the dark 02:12

Same old empty feeling in your heart 02:14

'Cause love comes slow, and it goes so fast 02:17

Well, you see her when you fall asleep 02:24

But never to touch and never to keep 02:27

'Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep 02:30

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low 02:37

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 02:40

Oh, oh, mm, oh 03:06

Lyrics:

[English]

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

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

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

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

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

Oh, oh, mm, oh

And you let her go

Oh, oh, uh, uh

Well, 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

'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

Grammar:

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low

➔ Adverb of frequency + Conditional Clause

➔ Uses the adverb of frequency "only" to emphasize the conditional relationship. "When it's burning low" functions as a conditional clause indicating the circumstance when the light is needed.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

➔ Adverb of frequency + Time Clause

➔ Again, "only" highlights the condition. "When it starts to snow" is a time clause setting the condition for missing the sun.
Only know you love her when you let her go

➔ Adverb of frequency + Time Clause / Complex Sentence Structure

➔ This line repeats the pattern, but the key is understanding the temporal connection made by "when". The realization of love comes only *after* letting her go.
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

➔ Present Participle as Reduced Relative Clause / Future Tense

➔ "Hoping" is a present participle acting as a reduced relative clause (equivalent to "while he is hoping"). "You'll" is a contraction of "you will", indicating future tense.
Everything you touch surely dies

➔ Relative Clause / Adverb of certainty

➔ "You touch" is a relative clause modifying "everything". "Surely" is an adverb expressing a high degree of certainty.
But never to touch and never to keep

➔ Negative Infinitive Phrases

➔ The structure "never to + verb" creates a negative infinitive phrase, emphasizing the impossibility of the actions.
Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep

➔ Adverbs of Degree / Past Simple

➔ "Too much" and "too deep" are adverbs of degree modifying the verbs. The past simple is used to describe completed actions in the past.
