Laura Marling - When Were You Happy?

Hey there new friend across the sea
If you figure things out would you figure in me?
Wouldn't it be a thing to live somewhere quietly?
Where there's a breeze and there's a reason for us to be

I look at people here in the city and wonder
Whether they're lonely or like me they're not content
To live as things are meant to be

When where you happy
And how long has that been?

Who speaks for them and then again
Who speaks for me?

My vote was never counted so who upon this Earth
Knows what it is that I believe
We are all looking for answers
Where no answer can be found
Or is that a concern of mine?
Because I have time
To question my ground

Hey there new friend across the sea
If you figure things out would you figure in me?

I find the more I think the harder it is for me to breathe
When were you happy and how long has that been?
