Let Her Go
Passenger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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 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 oh no
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no
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
Passenger's Let Her Go is a song that reflects on the realization of love's true value after it's gone. It is a beautifully written piece that recognizes how one can take love for granted until it's too late. The first few lines express how we only appreciate things when they're gone, just like how we only miss the sun when it's cold or the light when it's dark. We often don't realize the value of what we have until it's no longer there.
The song then moves on to describe how it's only when we let go of love that we realize its true value. When we lose someone we love, it hurts, and we start to see things differently. We start to miss the things that we used to hate, like the road that used to make us exhausted, and when we're struggling, we long for the comfort of our homes. The repetition of the line "Only know you love her when you let her go" drives the song's message home - the realization that we need to cherish love while we still have it and not wait until it's gone.
The following verse talks about dreaming and how dreams come so slow, but they can go so fast. It goes on to say how everything we touch dies, which comes across as a metaphor for how something that we invest so much love and energy into can easily pass us by. The final verse repeats the themes from the first and second verses as the singer talks about laying in bed, still feeling empty and clinging onto the memories of what once was, never to experience it again.
Overall, the song Let Her Go is about an individual who had taken love for granted and lost someone that they love deeply. Through this experience, they have learned the value of love and how important it is to cherish it while it's still present.

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
