Pompeii (City Sessions / Amazon Music Live) versuri

Pompeii (City Sessions / Amazon Music Live) lyrics by Bastille

Verse 1
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show

Pre-Chorus
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above

Chorus
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?

Verse 2
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us

Pre-Chorus
And the walls kept tumbling down in thе city that we love
Grey clouds roll ovеr the hills, bringing darkness from above

Chorus
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?

Bridge
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 (Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above (Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)

Chorus
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 going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
