i really wanted it to be a wedding

I saw the lyrics and chords for this song sitting on a friend's piano.

I've been trying to do it right
I've been living a lonely life
I've been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed
sleeping in my bed

So show me family
All the blood that I will bleed
I don't know where I belong
I don't know where I went wrong
But I can write a song

I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart

I noticed that it was standard four chord progression, and since I had never heard the song, I imagined up the melody, then looked it up later at home.

I love falling in love with songs. And I love discovering them in atypical ways.

Ho Hey by the Lumineers. It's a hauntingly sweet song, with a beautiful music video as well.


However.

I just really, really, wanted the video to culminate in a wedding. Cause they're all in that building with the pretty lights and everyone looks nice and I just wanted to see a bride and groom laughing and happy in the middle of the crowd.

Ah well.
