Mumford & Sons is one of my favorite bands, and I'm sad they are on an indefinite hiatus. Regardless, in listening to my ipod on shuffle today, their song "White Blank Page" hit me in a way it hadn't previously. It was never my favorite song on that first album, but one that clearly had emotional undertones and one that I thought was beautiful. But today I realized with complete clarity that it is the theme song of my last relationship. I wanted to post the lyrics to remember it by.
Can you lie next to her, and give her your heart, your heart.
As well as your body?
And can you lie next to her, and confess your love, your love.
As well as your folly?
And can you kneel before the king, and say I'm clean, I'm clean?
But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart.
Oh tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart.
A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage.
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, the brink.
You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections.
But tell me now where was my fault in loving you with my whole heart.
Oh tell me now where was my fault in loving you with my whole heart.
Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life.
Oh, lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life.
To love lost, and hopefully gained again..
