Lyrics 'Bastille - Pompeii'
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
I was left to my own devi-i-i-i-ces
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Gray 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
Gray 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?
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
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 (oh where do we begin?)
In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?)
Gray clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?)
Bringing darkness from above (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?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
Eheu aul aul
