[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
Am I out of touch? Am I outta my place
When I keep sayin' that I’m lookin' for an empty space?
Oh, wishin' you’re here
But I'm wishin' you're gone

[Refrain]
I can't have you and I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'ma mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over agai-ai-ain

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for everything, oh, everything I’ve done
From the second that I was born, it seems I had a loaded gun
Then I shot, shot, shot a hole
Through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole
Through every single thing that I loved

[Break]
Whoa, yeah
Come on

[Verse 2]
Am I out of luck? Am I waiting to break
When I keep sayin’ that I'm lookin’ for a way to escape?
Oh, I'm wishin' I had
What I've taken for granted

[Refrain]
I can’t have you and I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm gonna mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for everything, oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born, it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole
Through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole
Through every single thing that I loved

[Bridge]
Whoa, in the meantime, we let it go
At the roadside we used to know
We can let this drift away
Let this drift away
At the bayside, we used to show
In the moonlight, we let it go
We can let this drift away
Let this drift away
There's always time to change your mind
There's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
Oh, let it drift away-ay-ay

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for everything, oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born, it seems I had a loaded gun
Then I shot, shot, shot a hole
Through everything I loved
Oh, shot, shot, shot a hole
Through every single thing that I loved

[Bridge]
In the meantime, we let it go
At the roadside that we used to know
We can let this drift away
Let this drift away
At the bayside, we used to show
In the moonlight, we let it go
We can let this drift away
Let this drift away
There's always time to change your mind
There's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
Oh, let it drift away

[Outro]
Oh!
Oo-oo-ooh
Thank you
Thank you so much

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.
