Bastille - Pompeii lyrics

Eh, eheu, eheu eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu eh, eheu, eheu

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
Grey 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 settled around us

And the walls kept tumbling down in
The city that we love
Grey 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 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?)

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? Oh oh

Eh, eheu, eheu eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu eh, eheu, eheu
