Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales - Car Seat Headrest

in the backseat of my heart

my love tells me i’m a mess

i couldn’t get the car to start

i left my key somewhere in the mess

it comes and goes

in plateaus

one month later i’m a fucking pro

my parents would be proud

or fall asleep

on the floor

forget what happened in the morning

there are notes in your handwriting

but you can’t make it out

we are not a proud race

it’s not a race at all

we’re just trying

i’m only trying

to get home

drunk drivers

drunk drivers

this is not a good thing

i don’t mean to rationalize

or try and explain it away

it’s not okay

drunk drivers

it’s too late to articulate it that empty feeling

you share the same fate as the people you hate

you built yourself up against other’s feelings

and it left you feeling empty as a car coasting downhill

i have become such a negative person

it was all just an act

it was all so easily stripped away

but if we learned how to live like this

maybe we can learn how to start again

like a child who’s never done wrong

who hasn’t taken that first step

we are not a proud race

it’s not a race at all

we’re just trying

i’m only trying

to get home

drunk drivers

drunk drivers

put it out of your mind

and perish the thought

there’s no comfort in responsability

drunk drivers

drunk drivers

it doesn’t have to be like this

it doesn’t have to be like this

it doesn’t have to be like this

killer whales

killer whales

it doesn’t have to be like this

it doesn’t have to be like this

it doesn’t have to be like this

killer whales

killer whales

here’s that voice in your head

giving your shit again

but you know he loves you

and he doesn’t mean to cause you pain

please listen to him

it’s not too late

turn off the engine

get out of the car and start to walk

drunk drivers

drunk drivers

it doesn’t have to be like this

it doesn’t have to be like this

it doesn’t have to be like this

it doesn’t have to be like this

it doesn’t have to be like this
