We built our home out on the slopes,
Pompeii beneath she lay above,
How she haunted our home,
How she haunted our home.
You were a God in my eyes,
Above the clouds above the skies,
You were a God in my eyes,
You were a God.
You took me walking through the town
Showed me the statues underground,
Said, "just don't they look at peace,"
Sometimes I wish that was me.
I was the son you always had,
Tugging at your coat while you were sad,
I was the son you always had,
I was the son you always had.
Just don't cry,
Hold your head up high,
She would want you to,
She would want you to.
Please just don't cry,
Hold your head up high,
She would want you to,
She would want you to.
(This chord pattern continues for the rest of the song)
