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?
