Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales [Joe’s Story]

Lyrics

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 [Verse 1] It comes and goes in plateaus Become the star of my own TV show 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 [Chorus 1] 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 drivеrs, drunk drivers This is not a good thing I don't mean to rationalize Or try and еxplain it away It's not okay Drunk drivers, drunk drivers [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] But if we learned how to live like this Maybe 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 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] Here's that voice in your head Playing that song 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 [Pre-Chorus] Drunk drivers Drunk drivers Drunk drivers Drunk drivers [Outro] 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
