[Verse 1]
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
[PreChorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey 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 2]
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
[PreChorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
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?
[Bridge]
Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
[PreChorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down
Oh, where do we begin?
In the city that we love
The rubble or our sins?
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Oh, where do we begin?
Bringing darkness from above
The rubble or our sins?
[Chorus]
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?
[Outro]
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
