Pompeii Lyrics - Bastille

1 I was left to my own devices

2 Many days fell away with nothing to show

3 And the walls kept tumbling down

4 In the city that we love

5 Grey clouds roll over the hills

6 Bringing darkness from above

7 But if you close your eyes

8 Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

9 And if you close your eyes

10 Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

11 How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

12 How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

13 We were caught up and lost in all of our vices

14 In your pose as the dust settled around us

15 And the walls kept tumbling down

16 In the city that we love

17 Grey clouds roll over the hills

18 Bringing darkness from above

19 But if you close your eyes

20 Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

21 And if you close your eyes

22 Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

23 How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

24 How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

25 Oh, where do we begin

26 The rubble or our sins?

27 Oh, where do we begin

28 The rubble or our sins?

29 ''(Oh, where do we begin)'' And the walls kept tumbling down

30 In the city that we love ''(The rubble or our sins?)''

31 ''(Oh, where do we begin)'' Grey clouds roll over the hills

32 Bringing darkness from above ''(The rubble or our sins?)''

33 But if you close your eyes

34 Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

35 And if you close your eyes

36 Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

37 Oh, how am I gonna be an optimist about this?

38 How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

39 If you close your eyes

40 Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
