Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was left to my own devices
Many days, fell away
With nothing to show
[Verse 2]
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
[Verse 3]
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 4]
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
[Verse 5]
We were caught up and lost
In all of our voices
In your pose as the dust
Settles around us
[Verse 6]
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great 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]
Oh, where do we begin
The rubble or our sins
Oh, where do we begin
The rubble or our sins
[Verse 10]
And the walls came tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
[Verse 11]
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 12]
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
[Verse 13]
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all
