Don't Let Me Cave In

You drove me all the way up here

Cause you could tell that I was a mess

I wasn't going to make it to dinner

I shouldn't be calling again

You drove me all the way back

I circled the airport a hundred times

And tried to hide the fact that I was crying

Came in on the red eye

And that's why I look like this

There comes a day when you rectify

Who you are with who you want to be with

And I can't make the two things coexist

So don't let me cave in

You drove me all the way up here

Cause you could tell that I was a mess

I wasn't going to make it to dinner

I shouldn't be calling again

You drove me all the way up here

Then asked if we could stay in bed

Cause you got work early tomorrow

And I've got a plane to catch

You drove me all the way back

I spent last night getting Mexican

Outside the Logan Square basement show with Evan

Chicago looked desperate

But maybe that was me

I couldn't help thinking of watching the Sears Tower collapse as a kid

I feel like I might do the same thing

So don't let it happen to me

No, don't, don't let it happen to me

You drove me all the way up here

Cause you could tell that I was a mess

I wasn't going to make it to dinner

I shouldn't be calling again

You drove me all the way up here

Then asked if we could stay in bed

Cause you got work early tomorrow

And I've got a plane to catch

You drove me all the way back

I tried to make a life in the midwest

But the Rust Belt keeps breaking promises

I can't seem to find out where my footing is

So don't let, don't let me cave in

You drove me all the way up here

Cause you could tell that I was a mess

I wasn't going to make it to dinner

I shouldn't be calling again

You drove me all the way up here

Then asked if we could stay in bed

Cause you got work early tomorrow

And I've got a plane to catch

You drove me all the way back
