Lyrics

[00:17.930] I was left to my own devices
[00:25.290] Many days fell away with nothing to show
[00:31.710]
[00:32.760] And the walls kept tumbling down
[00:35.060] In the city that we love
[00:40.300] Great clouds roll over the hills
[00:42.890] Bringing darkness from above
[00:48.380]
[00:48.570] But if you close your eyes,
[00:51.330] Does it almost feel like
[00:53.200] Nothing changed at all?
[00:56.130] And if you close your eyes,
[00:58.610] Does it almost feel like
[01:00.680] You've been here before?
[01:04.220] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[01:08.380] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[01:12.030]
[01:12.480] We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
[01:20.000] In your pose as the dust settles around us
[01:27.030]
[01:28.080] And the walls kept tumbling down
[01:29.210] In the city that we love
[01:35.430] Great clouds roll over the hills
[01:37.950] Bringing darkness from above
[01:43.340]
[01:44.110] But if you close your eyes,
[01:46.670] Does it almost feel like
[01:48.720] Nothing changed at all?
[01:51.430] And if you close your eyes,
[01:53.980] Does it almost feel like
[01:56.060] You've been here before?
[01:59.620] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[02:03.950] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[02:07.370]
[02:15.350] Oh where do we begin?
[02:18.960] The rubble or our sins?
[02:22.700] Oh where do we begin?
[02:26.660] The rubble or our sins?
[02:30.210]
[02:31.170] And the walls kept tumbling down
[02:33.110] In the city that we love
[02:38.160] Great clouds roll over the hills
[02:41.230] Bringing darkness from above
[02:44.840]
[02:47.770] But if you close your eyes,
[02:50.270] Does it almost feel like
[02:52.710] Nothing changed at all?
[02:55.010] And if you close your eyes,
[02:57.950] Does it almost feel like
[03:00.110] You've been here before?
[03:03.710] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[03:07.720] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[03:10.730]
[03:11.280] If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
