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 Oh, 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 learn how to live 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 Killer whales, killer whales Here's that voice in your head Givin' 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

A canção fala sobre a “melancolia pós-festa”, descrevendo o retorno sozinho à casa em mau estado.
O trecho “killer whales” foi inspirado no filme “Blackfish”, conhecido por seu tom deprimente.
O compositor Will Toledo reflete sobre a ambiguidade de querer ser melhor ou simplesmente se importar menos com tudo.
A letra reflete o contraste entre o desejo de mudança e a realidade de voltar sozinho após uma noite de festa.
