Music Video - Let Her Go

Why are you sharing this song?
I happened to find this song a couple of days before and as I played the song, I was obsessed with it right away. The repeating rhythms keep haunting me. Most importantly, the lyrics is straightforward but shows the deeper meaning.

What is the meaning of the lyrics?
The idea of this song is simple, it implies that people know what is valuable until they lose it and love is the thing that really matters when it comes to the romantic relationship. It seems that the man never treasures the relationship, because the song says "Maybe one day you'll understand why" and "Everything you touch surely dies." "Well you only need a light when it's burning low" and "Only miss the sun when it starts to snow," which mean that after the man lets his girlfriend go, he suddenly realizes that he lets go of the love. Also, just as he sings,"Only know you love her when you let her go" but it's too late "Cause love comes slow and it goes fast." Everything's gone. For the rest of the song, it goes like "Only know you've been high when you're feeling low"  "Only hate the road when you're missing home" and "Only know you love her when you let her go." The song simply reminds us that we never let go of our beloved and cherish what we have.
