Many days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we lo- -o- -o- -o- ove
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from abo- -o- -o- -o- ove
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
In your pose as the dust settled around us

Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from abo- -o- -o- -o- ove

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?
