12 Mumford & Sons Lyrics That Will Give You Goosebumps Every Time

I guess the truth works two ways. Maybe the truth's not what we need.

Mumford and Sons

In celebration of the release of Delta (their new album) on November 16th, I was inspired to collect together some of my favorite lyrics that have always resonated with me throughout the years. Mumford and Sons have been my favorite since I was an angsty middle-schooler and now as an angsty adult. The one band I am not ashamed to say still gives me goosebumps to this day and have moved me so much I even have a dedicated tattoo on...a good portion of my forearm.

In case you needed any reason to check them out - here it is!

"Because death is just so full and man so small. Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before."

"Keep the earth below my feet. From my sweat, my blood runs weak. Let me learn from where I have been. Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn."

"Beholden now I find myself awake. Waiting on the edge again. You sleep so sound with your mind made up.Drinking from your cup of broken ends."

"You were strangely less in pain than you were cold. Triumphant in your mind, of the logic that you hold. You said no one would ever know the love that we had shared. As I took my leave to go it was clear you didn't care."

"Now look at you all torn up. I left you waiting to bleed. I guess the truth works two ways. Maybe the truth's not what we need."

"Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all. But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall. Lend me your eyes I can change what you see. But your soul you must keep, totally free."

"You saw my pain washed out in the rain. Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins. But you saw no fault, no cracks in my heart. And you knelt beside my hope torn apart."

"So I'll be a shadow of the flame, I lent down to kiss you then erased my name. And I'll be a whisper on the wind. My hands are shaking from holding so tight for so long."

"But if your strife strikes at your sleep, remember spring swaps snow for leaves. You'll be happy and wholesome again when the city clears and sun ascends."

"So fuck your dreams. And don't you pick at our seams. I'll turn into a monster for you, if you pay me enough. None of this counts, a few dreams, plowed up."

"If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could have won."

"I wrestled long with my youth. We tried so hard to live in the truth. But do not tell me all is fine, when I lose my head, I lose my spine."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
