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

只有在朦朧黯淡時才念及燈火光亮

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

只有在冰天雪地時才懷念陽光温暖

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手後才始知那是真愛

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

只有在身處低谷時才遙想過去崢嶸

Only hate the road when you're missing home

只有在鄉愁湧動時才痛恨旅途遙遠

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手後才始知那是真愛

And you let her go

但你已放手讓她走

Staring at the bottom of your glass

酒杯已空 醉然凝視

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

希望有一天可以永遠沉醉於美夢

But dreams come slow and they go so fast

但你知道 夢來的温柔 而醒的殘酷

You see her when you close your eyes

當你閉上雙眼 你彷彿看到了她

Maybe one day you'll understand why

也許終有一天你會領悟

Everything you touch surely dies

你是如何親手毀掉了一段摯愛

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

但你只有在朦朧黯淡時才念及燈火光亮

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

只有在冰天雪地時才懷念陽光温暖

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手後才始知那是真愛

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

只有在身處低谷時才遙想過去崢嶸

Only hate the road when you're missing home

只有在鄉愁湧動時才痛恨旅途遙遠

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手後才始知那是真愛

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

繁星滿天 你痴痴的望着天花板

Same old empty feeling in your heart

又是一個無比寂寞空虛的無眠夜

Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

愛情來的温柔 去的殘酷

Well you see her when you fall asleep

如今你只得在夢裏與她相見

But never to touch and never to keep

可這夢脆弱的經不起觸碰 經不起長久

Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep ^[7] 

你愛她越深 你亦而陷的越深

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

只有在朦朧黯淡時才念及燈火光亮

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

只有在冰天雪地時才懷念陽光温暖

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手後才始知那是真愛

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

只有在身處低谷時才遙想過去崢嶸

Only hate the road when you're missing home

只有在鄉愁湧動時才痛恨旅途遙遠

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手後才始知那是真愛

And you let her go

但你已放手讓她走

And you let her go

但你已放手讓她走

Well you let her go

而你已放手讓她走

本歌曲的MV由澳大利亞錄像藝術家Dave Jensen和Tavic導演並製作。它用一系列Passenger樂隊歸來並在一場音樂會上獻唱的鏡頭，以及台下觀眾的各種反應，記錄了Passenger為此次音樂會所做的準備，以及反響之熱烈。

Mike與Andrew在2003年五月創建Passenger樂隊，於他們相間的第二年。主要成員是主唱兼詞作者Mike Rosenberg.以及作曲者Andrew Phillips.並非像很多樂隊一樣，透過Passenger的首張專輯《Wicked man‘s rest》看出來他們來自英國。
