I'm sitting at the foot of this
Torn and broken monument
This piece, it doesn't seem to fit
Hear amongst our discontent
Oh, it's the love we lost
Here as we're lifting off
We love (We love)
We leave (We leave)
And time begins to freeze
I feel my lungs (My lungs)
Dive deep (Dive deep)
The waves crash over me
Oh, it's the love we lost (Monument)
Here as we're lifting off (Monument)
Tie it tight, this tourniquet
And lose a part to save my skin
Pain and loss will intonate (Intonate)
Grow back like phantom limbs
We love (We love)
We leave (We leave)
And time begins to freeze
I feel my lungs (My lungs)
Dive deep (Dive deep)
The waves crash over me
Oh, it's the love we lost (Monument)
Here as we're lifting off (Monument)
Oh, it's the love we lost (Monument)
Here as we're lifting off (Monument)
Oh, it's the love we lost (Intonate)
Oh, it's the light left off
Let me go or let me love you
We love (We love)
We leave (We leave)
And time begins to freeze
I feel my lungs (My lungs)
Dive deep (Dive deep)
The waves crash over me
We love (We love)
We leave (We leave)
And time begins to freeze
I feel my lungs (My lungs)
Dive deep (Dive deep)
The waves crash over me
Oh, it's the love we lost (Monument)
Here as we're lifting off (Monument)
Oh, it's the love we lost (Monument)
(Oh, it's the light left off)
