Cover art for Love Lost lyrics by Temper Trap, The

I think it's pretty obvious; his relationship with this person broke up previously. "Our love was lost, and hope was gone." They've come to reconcile their differences, and now the singer is waiting for the other to come back into his life and let him in again. (It's really nicely said - "and if you flash your heart, i won't deny it - I promise.")

The other person is really scared to try this again with all the walls they've built up and is reluctant to do the relationship again but the singer is willing to wait until they're ready. <3 so cute. "Keep me in mind, when you're ready I am here to take you every time". I wish someone loved me like that..
