Let Her Go

 

 

 

Let Her Go

 

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 missin' 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 missin' 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 missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

​

And you let her go

And you let her go

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 missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

​

And you let her go

 

 

Home 

 

 

 

Home 

 

They say home is where the heart is

but my heart is wild and free

So am I homeless

Or just heartless?

Did I start this?

Did it start me?

​

They say fear is for the brave

For cowards never stare it in the eye

So am I fearless to be fearful

Does it take courage to learn how to cry

​

So many winding roads

So many miles to go

and oh..

​

Oh

they say love is for the loving

Without love maybe nothing is real

So am I loveless or do I just love less

Oh since love left

I have nothing left to fear

​

So many winding roads

So many miles to go

When I start feeling sick of it all

It helps to remember I'm a brick in a wall

who runs down from the hillside to the sea

​

when I start feeling that it's gone too far

I lie on my back and stare up at the stars

I wonder if they're staring back at me

​

oh when I start feeling sick of it all

It helps to remember I'm a brick in a wall

who runs down from the hillside to the sea

when I start feeling that it's gone too far

I lie on my back and stare up at the stars

I wonder if they're staring back at me

 

 

 

The long road  

 

 

 

 

The long road  

 

We've walked the long road and you've worn it well
You stitched yourself up when you fell
Keep your memories in jars
Carry secrets in scars
Beneath your shell

 

You've seen some good days, and some bad ones too
You weave through fashion and trend
You've seen a sun rise on an ocean blue
You've seen it set for the dearest of friends

 

You found faith but you, chose to doubt it
You found love but you, left without it
And now you don't want, to talk about it

 

You travelled down through foreign lands
Touched mountain tops and golden sand
Seen pyramids and temples made of stone
Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf
A treasured book of photographs
In every single one you stand alone

 

You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall
As you watched the decades fall
The letters that you wrote never made it home
Your birthdays flew past like June
With Christmas days in hotel rooms
And new years eve with people you don't know

 

You built friendships but they, sailed without you
You never meant it and that's why, they doubt you
They don't ever talk about you

 

You're older than you used to be
The mirror weaves a tapestry
Of lines that dance and shimmer 'round your eyes
You stare back at a man, forever holding out his hand
As if the answer's going to fall out of the sky

 

But the penny never dropped
And no man has ever stopped time flying by
