It's just another night And I'm staring at the moon I saw a shooting star And thought of you I sang a lullaby By the waterside If you were here, I'd sing to you You're on the other side As the skyline splits in two I'm miles away from seeing you I can see the stars From America I wonder, do you see them, too?
So open your eyes and see The way our horizons meet And all of the lights will leave Into the night with me And I know these stars will bleed As both of our hearts bleed All of these stars will guide us home
I can hear your heart On the radio beat They're playing 'Chasing Cars' And I thought of you Back to our time, How you and I used to be How we fell in love And I took your hand Down the London streets and knew Everything led back to you So can you see the stars? Over the distance All of a sudden, my heart is Beating, too
So open your eyes and see The way our horizons meet And all of the lights will leave Into the night with me And I know these stars will bleed As both of our hearts bleed All of these stars will guide us home
And, oh, I know And oh, I know, oh I can see the stars From America
Well you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know your lover 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 your lover when you've let her go And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass Hoping one day you will make a dream last The dreams come slow and it goes so fast You see her when you close your eyes Maybe one day you will understand why Everything you touch all it dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know your lover when you've 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 your lover when you've let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark Same all empty feeling in your heart Love comes slow and it goes so fast Well you see her when you fall asleep But never to touch and never to keep Because you loved her to much And you dive too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know your lover when you've 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 your lover when you've let her go
And you let her go Ooooo ooooo oooooo And you let her go Ooooooo ooooo ooooo You let her go
Because you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know your lover when you've 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 your lover when you've let her go Because you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know your lover when you've 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 your lover when you've let her go And you let her go
