[Verse 1]
Lost at sea, so unexplored, tomorrow the world goes dark
Bring you home, tell me why
She lives to hear me talk about
Where the dreams, they cry
And hit, oh, high my face for more
The [?] move just wanna know
She's all I want so [?]

[Chorus]
Too late, I was waiting on a broken day
I wish the world would sit and wait
For you, for you
For you, for you

[Verse 2]
Set me free from all the fields of all the squinted eyes
Tell me why the sun, it died
Tell me all the lies you hear
About a time when I was young
And all I hear was trying to find

[Chorus]
Too late, I was waiting on a broken day
I wish the world would sit and wait
For you, for you
For you, for you

[Bridge]
Kiss me when the sun is gone
Hold me in your arms
Tell me why this darkness is a lie upon the stars

[Chorus]
Too late, I was waiting on a broken day
I wish the world would sit and wait
For you, for you
For you, for you

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.
