The Temper Trap, Love Lost- Lyric Analysis

Our love was lost

Protagonist begins walking down the left path, lip sync lyrics

But now we've found it

Our love was lost

And fast the hope was gone

Continues walking and syncing

Our love was lost

But now we've found it

And if you flash your heart

I won't deny it

Things start happening in the background-people join in etc..

I promise

I promise

Protagonist trips and falls, slow mo shots of the trip

Your walls are up

Protagonist brushes themselves off, keeps walking

Too cold to touch it

Your walls are up

Too high to climb

Walking, lip sync lyrics

I know it's hard

Bad things happen to people in background, one trips one gets hit by something

But I can still hear it beating

Character begins looking nervous

So if you flash your heart

I won't mistreat it 

Continues walking, lip sync

I promise

I promise

Protagonist gets mugged during second chorus

Our love was lost

Close up of eyes shutting

In the rubble are all the things

That you've, you've been dreaming of

Keep me in mind

When you're ready

I am here

To take you every time

Oh our love was lost

Lost, lost, lost, lost....

Events begin to rewind

Our love was lost

Protagonist finds themselves back at the start

But now its found

Takes the other path
