[Intro]In the backseat of my heartMy love tells me I’m a messI couldn’t get the car to startI left my keys somewhere in the mess[Verse 1]It comes and goes in plateausOne month later I’m a fucking proMy parents would be proudOr fall asleep on the floorForget what happened in the morningThere are notes in your handwritingBut you can’t make it out[Chorus 1]We are not a proud raceIt’s not a race at allWe’re just tryingI’m only trying to get homeDrunk drivers, drunk driversThis is not a good thingI don’t mean to rationalizeOr try and explain it awayIt’s not okDrunk drivers, drunk drivers[Verse 2]It’s too late to articulate itThat empty feelingYou share the same fate as the people you hateYou build yourself up against others’ feelingsAnd it left you feeling empty as a car coasting downhillI have become such a negative personIt was all just an actIt was all so easily stripped away[Pre-Chorus]But if we learn how to live like thisMaybe we can learn how to start againLike a child who’s never done wrongWho hasn’t taken that first step[Chorus 2]We are not a proud raceIt’s not a race at allWe’re just tryingI’m only trying to get homeDrunk drivers, drunk driversPut it out of your mindAnd perish the thoughtThere’s no comfort in responsibilityDrunk drivers, drunk drivers[Chorus 3]It doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like thisKiller whales, killer whalesIt doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like this[Verse 3]Here’s that voice in your headGiving you shit againBut you know he loves youAnd he doesn’t mean to cause you painPlease listen to himIt’s not too lateTurn off the engineGet out of the carAnd start to walk[Bridge]Drunk driversDrunk driversDrunk driversDrunk drivers[Chorus 3]It doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like thisKiller whales, killer whalesIt doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like this[Chorus 3]It doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like thisKiller whales, killer whalesIt doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like thisIt doesn’t have to be like this[Outro]WhalesWhales… ah yeah yeahWhales… oh ho ho ho… oh oh
