VERSE
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
CHORUS
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
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?
VERSE
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose the dust settled around us
CHORUS
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
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?
BRIDGE
The rubble or our sins. Oh,
CHORUS
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love.
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness for us.
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
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at
