[Verse 1]
Clenched teeth, no words
All this distance taking its toll
Speaking volumes
Silence screaming over your words

[Pre-Chorus]
I never did you right, I know that
Too many sleepless nights, I own that
I said it time and time, I know that
I wanna try again

[Chorus]
Can we start over?
Can we start over?
Can we start over
Before it's over, over?

[Verse 2]
Cold nights, cold sheets
One more lonely empty hotel room
What I'd give to
Find my way back into you

[Pre-Chorus]
I never did you right, and I know that
Too many sleepless nights, I own that
I said it time and time, I know that
I wanna try again

[Chorus]
Can we start over?
Can we start over?
Can we start over
Before it's over, over?
Can we start over?
Can we get closer?
Can we start over
Before it's over, over?

[Bridge]
Come alive, come alive, come alive again
Come alive, come alive, come alive again
Come alive, come alive, come alive again
Come alive, come alive, come alive again

[Outro]
Can we start, can we start over?
Can we start over?
Can we start over
Before it's over, over?
Can we start over?
(Come alive, come alive, come alive again)
Can we get closer?
(Come alive, come alive, come alive again)
Can we start over
(Come alive, come alive, come alive again)
Before it's over, over?
(Come alive, come alive, come alive again)

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.
