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)
|
So let me cave in
|
(don't let me cave in)
|
