Lyrics
0:01Poampeii - Bastille
0:17I was left to my own devices
0:25Many days fell away with nothing to show
0:32And the walls kept tumbling down
0:35In the city that we love
0:40Great clouds roll over the hills
0:42Bringing darkness from above
0:48But if you close your eyes,
0:51Does it almost feel like
0:53Nothing changed at all?
0:55And if you close your eyes,
0:58Does it almost feel like
1:00You've been here before?
1:04How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
1:08How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
1:12We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
1:20In your pose as the dust settles around us
1:27And the walls kept tumbling down
1:29In the city that we love
1:34Great clouds roll over the hills
1:37Bringing darkness from above
1:43But if you close your eyes,
1:45Does it almost feel like
1:47Nothing changed at all?
1:50And if you close your eyes,
1:52Does it almost feel like
1:55You've been here before?
1:59How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
2:02How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
2:14Oh where do we begin?
2:17The rubble or our sins?
2:21Oh where do we begin?
2:25The rubble or our sins?
2:28And the walls kept tumbling down
2:31In the city that we love
2:36Great clouds roll over the hills
2:39Bringing darkness from above
2:45But if you close your eyes,
2:47Does it almost feel like
2:49Nothing changed at all?
2:52And if you close your eyes,
2:55Does it almost feel like
2:57You've been here before?
3:01How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
3:05How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
3:07If you close your eyes,
3:10Does it almost feel like
3:12Nothing changed at all?
Poampeii - 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 settles 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 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? 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?
