dont let me cave in

[goodbyelush]

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
And 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
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 co-exist
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
and I shouldn’t be calling again
You drove me all the way up here
And asked if we could stay in bed
You still 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 a 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

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
and I shouldn’t be calling again
You drove me all the way up here
And asked if we could stay in bed
You still 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
So let me cave in
(don't let me cave in)
