Couldn't relax, couldn't sit back
And let the sunlight in my lap
I sang a hymn to bring me peace
And then it came, a melody

It felt so sweet, it felt so strong
It made me feel like I belonged
And all the sadness inside me
Melted away like I was free

I found what I'd been looking for in myself
Found a life worth living for someone else
Never thought that I could be, I could be
Happy, happy

Don't go out much at all
I've never been the type to call
I realize to be happy
Maybe I need a little company

So now you know, you know it all
That I've been des-desperately alone
I haven't found the one for me
But I believe in divinity

I found what I'd been looking for in myself
Found a life worth living for someone else
Never thought that I could be, I could be
Happy, happy

I believe in possibility
I believe someone's watching over me
And finally I have found a way to be
Happy, happy

From the concrete to the coast
I was looking for a Holy Ghost
Like the land joining the sea
Happiness, it followed me

I believe in possibility
I believe someone's watching over me
And finally I have found a way to be
Happy, happy, happy

    My Interpretation

    The song starts out with Marina feeling a bit anxious, so she “sang a hymn/to bring [her] peace”. From that, she grew her own melody, one that gave her peace and freedom. She’s found happiness and positivity. The next stanza is about how she’s been isolating herself and she realizes that she needs company now to be happier. She’s felt incredibly lonely.

    When she says “I haven’t found the one for me/But I believe in divinity”, I believe that she’s saying that she has started to believe in a higher power but isn’t sure which god(s) exactly she believes in. In other words, she’s feeling spiritual but not religious. This newfound spirituality, along with her recognition that she needs to stop shutting herself in, have brought her happiness.
