When Were You Happy? (And How Long Has That Been)

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?
