About

“Cave In” is the first track off of the album, and it fittingly sets up many of the album recurring motifs of insomnia, restlessness, and the desire to “see what’s out there” beyond the walls of one’s ordinary life.

Of the song itself, Adam Young had this to say: “That song captures in just a few w...

Cave In Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please take a long hard look
Through your text book, cause I'm history
When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone
'Cause I've been dying to leave
Yeah, I'll ride the range
And hide all my loose change in my bedroll
'Cause riding a dirt bike down a turnpike
Always takes its toll on me
I've had just about enough
Of quote diamonds in the rough
Because my backbone is paper thin

[Chorus]
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
(I'll cave in, I'll cave in)

[Verse 2]
If the bombs go off the sun will still be shining
(The sun will still be shining)
Because I've heard it said that
Every mushroom cloud has a silver lining
(Though I'm always undermining too deep to know)
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
'Cause the road tastes like Wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
Mixed with stale gasoline
I'll soak up the sound
Try to sleep on the wet ground
I'll get ten minutes give or take
'Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake
(Awake, awake, awake, awake...)

[Chorus]
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
(Cave in, cave in, cave in, cave in...)
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in

[Verse 3]
I'll keep my helmet on
Just in case my head caves in
(In case my head caves in)
'Cause if my thoughts collapse
Or my framework snaps
It'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars
So I stay on track (so I stay on track)
And if my intentions stray I'll wrench them away
Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back

[Outro]
I won't even look back
(Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da daaa...)
