Bastille - Pompeii

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 loved
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like Nothing's 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 loved
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like Nothing's 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
If you close your eyes

Where do we begin
The rubble or our sins
Where do we begin
The rubble or our sins

And the walls kept tumbling down
(Where do we begin)
in the city that we loved
(The rubble or our sins)
Break out all over the hills
(Where do we begin)
Bringing darkness from above
(The rubble or our sins)

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like Nothing's 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
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all
