Pompeii MMXXIII Letra - Bastille ft. Hans Zimmer

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?

Eh, eheu, eheu

Eh, eheu, eheu

Eh, eheu, eheu

Eh, eheu, eheu

Eh, eheu, eheu

Eh, eheu, eheu

Eh, eheu, eheu

Eh, eheu, eheu

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?

If you close your eyes

Eh, eheu, eheu

Eh, eheu, eheu (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Eh, eheu, eheu

Eh, eheu, eheu (Oh-oh)

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

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?

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

Oh-oh-oh, oh

(Hey!)

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Oh, oh
