Mumford & Sons

This is my entry for Round 3 of the "Spintunes" contest! The prompt/challenge was to "write and record a song that makes prominent and creative use of motivic development - a technique for creating extended melodies through repetition and variation of a short, memorable melodic fragment called a motive".

LYRICS

Waking up in purgatory
Isn’t where I thought I’d be
Aftertaste of argument
No that isn’t what I meant

And you do this every time
Just for a reaction
Yeah, you do this every time
Is it part of the attraction

Maybe you’ll go to prove that I need you
Maybe you’ll stay when I don’t believe you
Maybe you’re sweet, maybe you’re scary
Push me away only to tell me
Oh, don’t you want me anymore

What’s my motivation here
On a scale of one to fear
Weighing up the evidence
Isn’t making any sense

And it kills me every time
My heart on the pavement
Yeah it kills me every time
How you claim it’s an accident

Maybe you’ll go to prove that I need you
Maybe you’ll stay when I don’t believe you
Maybe you’re sweet, maybe you’re scary
Push me away only to tell me
Oh, don’t you want me anymore
Oh, don’t you want me anymore

I love it when you change
I love it when you change your
I love it when you change
I love it when you change your mind

Another day in purgatory
I guess that’s how it’s going to be
Our record’s playing on repeat
It’s never sounded so sweet

Maybe you’ll go to prove that I need you
Maybe you’ll stay when I don’t believe you
Maybe you’re sweet, maybe you’re scary
Push me away only to tell me
Oh, don’t you want me anymore
Oh, don’t you want me anymore

Don't You Want Me Anymore
