[Verse 1]
Good morning, my love
It's been a while since we first talked
And I have grown
My eyes are older than the tallest tree you see
Thirty lives can be extraordinarily long

[Chorus]
Lay me down, lay me down
Again, my friend
I know it's been a while since I could look you in the eye
But I am foolish, and I'm sorry
But sorry never made it feel alright, alright

[Verse 2]
Good morning, myself
It's been a while since we have spoken
And you have changed
For better or worse is yet to determine
I am sure
You'll keep living and breathing until this world rolls over

[Chorus]
Lay me down, lay me down
Again, my friend
I know it's been a while since I could look you in the eye
And I am foolish, and I'm sorry
But sorry never made it feel alright, alright

[Bridge]
Stay with me, stay with me
Forever

[Outro]
Again, my friend
I know it's been a while since I could look you in the eye
And I am foolish, and I'm sorry
But sorry never made it feel alright, alright

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.
