Intro : (x2) I was left to my own de--v-i-c-e-s Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we l-o-v-e-d Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from A-B-o-v-E 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 ? We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settles around us And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we l-o-v-e-d Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from A-B]-o-v-E 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 ? Instrumental : Oh where do we begin ? The rubble or our sins ? Oh where do we begin ? The rubble or our sins ? And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we l-o-v-e-d Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from A-B-o-v-E 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 ? But if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all ? Finale : (2x)
