Don't Let Me Cave In Lyrics - The Wonder Years

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 

No don't let it happen to me! 

(So 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 (don't don't don't) 

let (don't let me cave in) 

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 gonna make it to dinner 

I shouldn't be calling again 

You drove me all up here 

And asked if we could stay in bed 

Cause you got work early tomorrow 

And I got a plane to catch 

You drove me all the way back
