WONDER YEARS - Don't Let Me Cave In lyrics

Title:Don't Let Me Cave In
Album:Suburbia:I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing (2011)
Artist: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 cryin
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


{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
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 thinkin of watchin
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)


{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
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 (dont dont dont)
let (dont let me cave in)
So let me cave in
(dont let me cave in)

The Wonder Years - Local Man Ruins Everything Lyrics
Album: Suburbia I've Given You All And Now I'm Nothing

The fountain was off.
This is the first time I’ve been back to the city in months.
I’m trying to hold it together but irony’s found cracks in the foundation.
And you know,
I try so hard to be some great white hope
But I can’t shake the feeling that tonight I’m gonna end up shaking in bed alone.


I’m not a self-help book; I’m just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
Now I’m waiting for it to sink in.


Expect me standing tall, back against the wall,
'Cause what I learned was
It’s not about forcing happiness;
It’s about not letting the sadness win.


I don’t have roses in the closet
But I’ve got pictures in a drawer
It’s everything left in me
Not to stare at them anymore.
I walked upstairs and shaved my beard.
I felt like I was holding sadness here
(I was holding sadness here)


I’m not a self-help book; I’m just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
Now I’m waiting for it to sink in.


Expect me standing tall, back against the wall,
'Cause what I learned was
It’s not about forcing happiness;
It’s about not letting the sadness win.


I don’t have roses in the closet
But I’ve got pictures in a drawer
It’s everything left in me
Not to stare at them anymore.


I’m not a self-help book; I’m just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
I’m not a self-help book; I’m just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
