[Intro]
Ooo-oo
Ooo-oo

[Verse 1]
I'm sorry, mother
I'm sorry I let you down
Well, these days I'm fine
No, these days I tend to lie
I'll take the Western train, just by the side of Amsterdam
Just by my left brain, just by the side of the Tin Man
Ooo-oo
Ooo-oo
I'm sorry, brother
I'm sorry I bring you down
Well, these days you're fine
No, these days you tend to lie
You'll take the Western train, just by the side of Amsterdam
Just by your left brain, just by the side of the Tin Man

[Chorus]
Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me, I've tried
But I keep coming up short

[Verse 2]
Ooo-oo
I'm sorry, brother
I'm sorry I bring you down
Well, these days you're fine
No these days you tend to lie
I kinda thought I was a mystery
And then I thought I wasn't meant to be
You said yourself fantastically, "Congratulations, you were all alone!"

[Chorus]
Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me, I've tried
Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me, I've tried

[Bridge]
But the rain won't fall for the both of us
The sun can't shine on the both of us
Believe me when I say, I wouldn't have it any other way

[Outro]
Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me, I've tried
But I won't wait much longer
Oh, these walls, they're crashing down
Oh, I won't wait much longer
Oh, these walls, they're crashing down
And I keep coming up short

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.
