No Hope In The Air Lyrics

Lyric discussion by xxcristalena 

Cover art for No Hope In The Air lyrics by Laura Marling

i'm obsessed with this song off the new album. the title is hope in the air though.

"Why fear death? Be scared of living Our hearts are small and ever thinning There is no hope ever of winning So why fear death? Be scared of living"

i can't believe we're the same age! makes me feel lazy!

I know. I don't feel lazy because I don't even have the potential to do what she's doing. She makes me feel stupid :(

She added a verse for the album: A friend is a friend forever And a good one will never leave never but you've never been south of what rolls off your mouth you will never understand the effort/ever

I can't hear the phrasing that well and it's really ironic I can't understand that last word.... maybe I'll never understand it...

if you're not sure about the lyrics, you can always go to her website (http://www.lauramarling.com) i actually bought this album (and the first one as well) so they have the lyrics up there too. (although i'm not home so i checked on her web.. :P ) anyway! the last word is "ever". "you will never understand ever."

i'm not that good in english so sometimes it's hard for me to understand her songs. but i guess this one is easy. i suppose it talks about her father, and it amazes me how a 20...
