Laura Marling - When Were You Happy? (And How Long Has That Been) lyrics

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 this
City and wonder if they're lonely
Or like me they're not content to live
As things are meant to be
When were 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're all looking for answers where
No answers can be found
Or is that a concern of mine
Because I have the time
To question my ground?

Hey there, new friend across the sea
If you figure things out
Would you figure in me?
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 we happy?
And how long has that been?
