Car Seat Headrest – Drunk Drivers / Killer Whales lyrics

In the backseat of my heart
My love tells me I'm a mess
I couldn't get the car to start
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 okay
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 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
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
Killer whales
Killer whales

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
Drunk drivers
Drunk drivers
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
