Many days fell away with nothing to show

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

Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
