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 keys 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 ok Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
It's too late to articulate it That empty feeling You share the same fate as the people you hate You build yourself up against others 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 learn 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 responsibility 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
Here's that voice in your head Giving you 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
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
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
Whales... Whales... ah yeah yeah... Whales... oh ho ho ho... oh oh
