Only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
You only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

And now you staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
The dreams come slow and they go so fast

And you see you 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
You 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 you when you fall asleep
But never to touch no never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

But you only need the light when it's burning low
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
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go ohhh
You let her go ohhh

You only need the light when it's burning low
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
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
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

The Vamps

The Vamps are a British band consisting of members Brad Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball, and Tristan Evans.

The group was formed when solo artist James McVey wanted to start a band. He found Brad Simpson through an Ed Sheeran cover he posted on YouTube and messaged him on Facebook. They found drummer Tristan Evans through Facebook, and bassist Connor Ball through mutual friends.

Their appropriately named debut Meet The Vamps was released in the UK in April 2014. An alternate version was released in the US the following November, with the difference being added features by Demi Lovato and Shawn Mendes on “Somebody To You” and “Oh Cecilia,” respectively. Both of these tracks, in addition to “Can We Dance” and “Last Night,” were released as singles.
