Don’t Let Me Cave In

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
I circled the airport a hundred times
And tried to hide the fact that I was crying
I came in on the red eye
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

[Chorus]
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
And 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

[Verse 2]
I spent last night singing sad songs
With Daniel, on a New Year’s Eve in Philly
The city looked filthy
Just how I used to be
I couldn’t help thinking of watching the City Hall collapse as a kid
I feel like I might do the same thing
So, don’t let it happen to me
No, don’t let it happen to me

[Chorus]
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
And 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

[Verse 3]
I tried to make a life on the East Coast
But the Rust Belt kept breaking every oath
I can’t seem to find out where my footing lies
So don’t let, so don’t let me cave in
