Sam Tsui - Pompeii Lyrics






Eh-eh-o eh-o, eh-eh-o eh-o
Eh-eh-o eh-o, eh-eh-o eh-o
Eh-eh-o eh-o, eh-eh-o eh-o

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 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 caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose was the dust that settled 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 where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh-oh-oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling down (oh where do we begin?)
In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?)
Great clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?)
Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?)

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?

Eh-eh-o eh-o, eh-eh-o eh-o,
Eh-eh-o eh-o, eh-eh-o eh-o

Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

    Sam, your covers are amazing, they truly are. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. And one specific thing: When you sing a song I actually understand the lyrics :) I am originally German and sometimes I have difficulties understanding the original songs but when you sing them I understand every single word. Thank you so much!
