Pompeii by Bastille

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds (1)________ (2)________ the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close (3)________ eyes
Does it (4)____________ (5)________ like (6)______________ changed at all
And if you (7)__________ your eyes
Does it almost (8)________ like you've been here before
How am I gonna be an optimist (9)__________ this
How am I gonna be an (10)________________ about this
We (11)________ caught up and lost
In all of our vices
In your pose as the dust
Settles around us
And the (12)__________ 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 (13)____________ feel like (14)______________ changed at all
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost (15)________ (16)________ you've been here before
How am I gonna be an optimist (17)__________ this
How am I (18)__________ be an (19)________________ about this

Oh, where do we begin
The rubble or our sins
Oh, where do we begin
The (20)____________ or our sins
And the (21)__________ kept (22)________________ down
In the (23)________ that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing (24)________________ from above

But if you (25)__________ 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 (26)__________ this
If you (27)__________ your eyes
Does it (28)____________ feel like (29)______________ changed at all
