Pompeii - Bastille

I was left
To my own devices
Many days fell away
With nothing to show
And the walls kept
Tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the
Hills bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You´ve been here before?
How am I gonna be an
Optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an
Optimist about this?

We were caught
Up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust
Settled around us
And the walls
Kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the
Hills bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You´ve been here before?
How am I gonna be an
Optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an
Optimist about this?

Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh, oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling
Down in the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the
Hills bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You´ve been here before?

Oh, How am I gonna be an
Optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an
Optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
