[Verse 1]
I'm a reckless mistake
I'm a cold night's intake
I'm a one night too long
I'm a come on too strong

[Chorus]
All my life, I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down, I'm a rollin' freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Can't slow down, I'm a lone red rover

[Verse 2]
I'm a hold my cards close
I'm a wreck what I love most
I'm a first class letdown
I'm a "shut up, sit down"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I am a head case
I am the color of boom
That's never arriving
And you are the pay raise
Always a touch out of view
And I am the color of boom

[Chorus]
All my life, I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down, I'm a rolling freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Can't slow down, I'm a lone red rover

[Hook]
Whoa, how did it come to this?
Oh, love is a polaroid, oh
Better in picture
(But) never can fill the void

[Verse 3]
I'm a midnight talker
Oh, I'm an alley walker
I'm a day late two-face
I'm a burn out quick pace

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I am a head case
I am the color of boom
That's never arriving
At you are the opera
Always on time and in tune
And I am the color of boom

[Chorus]
All my life, I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down, I'm a rolling freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Can't slow down, I'm a lone red rover

[Hook]
Whoa, how did it come to this?
Oh, love is a polaroid, oh
Better in picture
(But) never can fill the void

[Bridge]
I'm gonna get ready
For the rain to pour heavy
Let it fall, fall
Let it fall upon my head

[Chorus]
All my life, I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down, I'm a rolling freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Can't slow down, I'm a lone red rover

[Hook]
Whoa, how did it come to this?
Oh, love is a polaroid, oh
Better in picture
(But) never can fill the void

[Outro]
Oh, love is a polaroid
Oh, love is a polaroid
(Oh-a-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-a-oh, oh-a-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-a-oh)
Oh, love is a polaroid
(Oh-a-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-a-oh)
Love is a polaroid

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.
