[Verse 1]
You give me love
But then you take it away
And I'm left to search where to hide
You give me love (Love), love (Love)
All of your eyes that have cursed me countless times

[Pre-Chorus]
I think I'm cursed
I think I'm dying for days
As I build to the top with you
You give me love (Love), love (Love)
All of your eyes that have cursed me countless times, oh

[Chorus]
Take, take, take
But don't give it back now
Wait, wait, wait
I've loaded up a gun
Bang, bang, bang
Come in from your back door
Hang, hang, hang
Me up on your wall

[Verse 2]
You give me headaches
Oh, all I need is a break
From your clever little lies
You give me love (Love), love (Love)
All of your eyes that have cursed me countless times

[Pre-Chorus]
I think I'm cursed
I think I'm dying for days
As I build to the top with you
You give me love (Love), love (Love)
All of your eyes that have cursed me countless times, oh

[Chorus]
Take, take, take
But don’t give it back now
Wait, wait, wait
I've loaded up a gun
Bang, bang, bang
Come in from your back door
Hang, hang, hang
Me up on your wall

[Bridge]
It's 2 AM in the city of sin, it's 2 AM in the city of sin
Ah, ah, ah
It's 2 AM in the city of sin, it's 2 AM in the city of sin
It's 2 AM in the city of sin, it's 2 AM in the city of sin
It's 2 AM in the city of sin, it's 2 AM in the city of sin

[Chorus]
Take, take, take
But don't give it back now
Wait, wait, wait
I've loaded up a gun
Bang, bang, bang
Come in from your back door
Hang, hang, hang
Me up on your wall

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.
