J Mascis - Death of a Dream Lyrics

I thought I'd learned my lesson
I thought I had it all
I never thought I'd find myself with my back against the wall

I'm waiting in a corner
For a chance to make my move
To come as far as me
With still so much left to prove

Death of a dream
Death of a dream
How much do I have to see
Before I believe
Before I believe

I've got a ways to travel
Before I mellow out
I never thought I'd find myself doing the thing I'm doing now
A blanket for Patricia
A straight bullet for me
We all know she is beautiful
But what does it really mean
Death of a dream
Death of a dream
How much do I have to see
Before I believe

I thought I'd learned my lesson
I thought I had it all
I never thought I'd find myself with my back against the wall

I'm waiting in a corner
For a chance to make my move
To come as far as me
With still so much left to prove

Death of a dream
Death of a dream
How much do I have to see
Before I believe
Before I believe

I've got a ways to travel
Before I mellow out
I never thought I'd find myself doing the thing I'm doing now
A blanket for Patricia
A straight bullet for me
We all know she is beautiful
But what does it really mean
Death of a dream
Death of a dream
How much do I have to see
Before I believe
