Pompeii by Bastille

I was left to my own devices
Many days (1)________ away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great 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
We were (2)____________ up and lost
In all of our vices
In your (3)________ as the dust
Settles around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great 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

Oh, (4)__________ 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 (5)________ we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it (6)____________ feel like nothing (7)______________ 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 (8)__________ this
If you (9)__________ your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all
