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
