When the yellow of the sun starts looking gold When your story's sweeter than the ones you're told When you get closer to young instead of closer to old That's when you love something When a mountain tall ain't nothin' to climb When you don't want more of nothing but time When even the wrong don't nothing but rhyme That's when you love something You let 'em know, you hold 'em close You let 'em wrap around your soul You let 'em know, you hold 'em close But it's not enough so you let them go That's when you love something When the pain you feel ain't only yours When you've lost it all, but who's keeping score? When nothing you do can close the door That's when you love something You let 'em know, you hold 'em close You let 'em wrap around your soul You let 'em know, you hold 'em close But it's not enough so you let them go That's when you love something When the blue of the moon brings you to cry And you can't find the words for why 'Cause you know too much about "good" and "bye" That's when you love something You let 'em know, you hold 'em close You let 'em wrap around your soul You let 'em know, you hold 'em close But it's not enough so you let them go And you tell 'em you'll be here when they wanna come home That's when you love something That's when you love something
