[Verse 1]
There's so much on my mind, I don't know where to start
It's that light in your eye filling up the dark
Though I lost myself, I know it's not the end
You're my shooting star, you make my heart ascend

[Chorus]
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la

[Verse 2]
I know that we're far from where we need to be
But the world wasn't made in just one day
Though our journey's long, I know our love is strong
You're my shooting star, we're flying high above

[Chorus]
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la

[Bridge]
When I'm stuck in the middle of hell and faith
I don't know where to turn
To bend my mind as the silver gate
You lead me on my way
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Just levitate, just levitate
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la

[Outro]
Just levitate, just levitate
Just levitate, just levitate

Imagine Dragons

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
