Pompeii - Bastille

Lyrics by：Dan Smith

Composed by：Dan Smith

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 going to be an optimist about this

How am I going to 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 going to be an optimist about this

How am I going to 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

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 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

Eh eheu eheu

Eh eheu eheu

Eh eheu eheu

Eh eheu eheu

Eh eheu eheu

Eh eheu eheu

Eh eheu eheu

Eh eheu eheu
