[Intro]
She barely knew your name

[Verse 1]
He was just a city, she's just a dirt road
But that never meant a thing
Running from the country
She needed out, but he held that diamond ring

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't sit, oh, I can't talk
I got to leave this town and run to you
Curse these nights that speak your name
I got to leave this town and come to you
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
She barely knew your name

[Verse 2]
He was such a worry
No need to hurry
Those streets are slick at night
She would never listen
She left it all and headed towards the light
Oh your eyes look tired
But love was all she knew
Screaming out in agony
She gave her life for you

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't sit, oh, I can't talk
I got to leave this town and run to you
Curse these nights that speak your name
I got to leave this town and come to you
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
She barely knew your name
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause I can't sit, oh, I can't talk
I got to leave this town and run to you
Curse these nights that speak your name
I got to leave this town and come to you
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
She barely knew your name

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.
