Lyrics
Pompeii
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
I'm gonna be an optimist about this?
I'm gonna be an optimist about this?
I'm gonna be an optimist about this?
I'm gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
