Sweet Pompeii

[Excerpt 1]

"How are you?"

"Well, it's been a long time since anybody's asked me that."

[Verse 1: Dan Smith]

You took my heart and you held it in your mouth

And with a word all my love came rushing out

And every whisper, it's the worst

Emptied out by a single word

There's a hollow in me now

[Verse 2: Dan Smith]

It isn't easy for me to let it go

Cause I swallow every single word

And every whisper, every sigh

Eats away this heart of mine

And there is a hollow in me now

[Chorus: Dan Smith]

So I put my faith in something unknown

I'm living on such sweet nothing

But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold

I'm living on such sweet nothing

And it's hard to learn

And it's hard to love

When you're giving me such sweet nothing

Sweet nothing, sweet nothing

You're giving me…

[Bridge: Erika]

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?

[Bridge: Bernie Sanders]

The lesson to be learned here is

Since their greed and recklessness and illegal behavior

So many people to lose their homes

These guys have learnt nothing!

[Chorus: Dan Smith]

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?

[Outro]

"I'm great."
