American Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't need another letdown
I close my eyes and let it pass
I don't know why, don't know why
I'm waiting for the letdown
I'll open up and let you in
I'll sing again, sing again
Every mark we make
Is a sign of change
I'm not alone in this American dream
This American dream
I'm looking for a way out
Away from all the innocence
I'll wait it out, wait it out
For another lonely train wreck
A banished heart will represent
Will represent every place we know
The Bowery's singing
Every mark we make
Is a sign of change
I'm not alone in this American dream
Every line we write
Is a town we'll reach
I'm not alone in this American dream
This American dream
Things will get better
Before they get worse
Things will get better
Things will get better
Before they get worse
(Things will get better)
I'm getting stronger
You're getting hurt
I'm getting stronger
I'm getting stronger
While you're getting hurt
Every mark we make
Is a sign of change
I'm not alone in this American dream
Every line we write
Is a town we'll reach
I'm not alone in this American dream
This American
This American dream
I need another letdown
I need another letdown
