Discover the story of the song > Amsterdam – Imagine Dragons

The song is about the protagonist apologizing to his mother, brother and lover for letting them down. He talks about taking the Western train by the side of Amsterdam and the Tin Man. He acknowledges that waiting for one's time to come is hard, but he keeps trying. The rain won't fall for both of them and the sun won't shine on them both, but he wouldn't have it any other way. The walls are crashing down and he won't wait much longer because he keeps coming up short.
