"Bad Blood"

We were young and drinking in the park

There was nowhere else to go

And you said you always had my back

Oh but how were we to know

That these are the days that bind you together, forever

And these little things define you forever, forever

All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?

It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?

If we're only ever looking back

We will drive ourselves insane

As the friendship goes resentment grows

We will walk our different ways

But those are the days that bind us together, forever

And those little things define us forever, forever

All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?

It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?

And I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore

I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore

I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore

I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore

All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?

It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?

"Pompeii"

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?

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices

In your pose as the dust 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?

Eh-eh-o eh-o

Oh where do we begin?

The rubble or our sins?

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?

If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

Eh-eh-o eh-o

"Overjoyed"

Oh I feel overjoyed

When you listen to my words

I see them sinking in

Oh I see them crawling underneath your skin

Words are all we have

We'll be talking

These words are all we have

We'll be talking

And I hear you calling in the dead of night

You lean towards despair

Any given opportunity you're there

But what is there to gain?

When you're always falling off the fence that way.

Words are all we have

We'll be talking

These words are all we have

We'll be talking

And I hear you calling in the dead of night

Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night

Ooooooh

And I hear you calling in the dead of night

Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night

And I hear you calling in the dead of night

Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night

Ooooooh

Oh I feel overjoyed

When you listen to my words
