but lets hang out one last time.
Lets go and party, do you know where its at,
'Cause we died on a Monday night.
We died on a Monday night.
It's true, it's true I said I'd die for you.
Climb mountains high until the ends of the earth.
It's true, it's true,
Bring down the sky 'cause I know what you're worth.
But we died on a Monday night.
We died on a Monday night.
Head on my shoulder 'cause we know it won't last,
but lets pretend for tonight.
Life's just what happens when you're having a blast,
'Cause we died on a Monday night.
We died on a Monday night.
It's true, it's true I said I'd die for you.
Climb mountains high until the ends of the earth.
It's true, it's true,
I'd steal, I'd lie for you.
Bring down the sky 'cause I know what you're worth.
But we died on a Monday night.
We died on a Monday night.
That night we tried to keep it together, but then you cried,
I dried your eyes on my sweater.
We couldn't lie, deny, that we were just being fools
'Cause we died on a Monday night.
We died on a Monday night.
It's true, it's true I said I'd die for you.
Climb mountains high until the ends of the earth.
It's true, it's true,
I'd steal, I'd lie for you.
Bring down the sky 'cause I know what you're worth.
But we died on a Monday night.
We died on a Monday night.

They indulge in partying together and reminiscing about their past together, knowing that it is over between them. The line "we died on a Monday night" is repeated throughout the song, which signifies the end of their relationship. Despite the lyrics expressing how they had a good time together, it is clear that the relationship had a short-lived existence. The lyrics also highlight that they were not naive about their situation, as they knew it won't last, but they still wanted to pretend for that one night that everything was alright.
The chorus "It's true, it's true, I said I'd die for you. Climb mountains high until the ends of the earth. It's true, it's true, I'd steal, I'd lie for you. Bring down the sky 'cause I know what you're worth," is the most significant part of the song. It showcases the intensity of the feelings they had for each other, even though they have to accept that it is over. The line "we died on a Monday night" could also mean that they were reborn on that night, acknowledging the end of their relationship as a new beginning for both of them. The song's overall message is that the memories of that night will always stay with them, even though they have to move on with their lives.
