Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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?

[Verse 3]

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

[Verse 4]

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

But if you close your eyes

[Verse 5]

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

[Verse 6]

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices

In your pearls 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

[Verse 7]

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?

[Verse 8]

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

[Verse 9]

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

But if you close your eyes

[Verse 10]

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

But if you close your eyes

[Verse 11]

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)

(If you close your eyes)
