Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I like the peace in the backseat
I don't have to drive, I don't have to speak
I can watch the countryside
And I can fall asleep
[Verse 2]
My family tree's losin' all its leaves
Crashing towards the driver's seat
The lightning bolt made enough heat
To melt the street beneath your feet
[Chorus]
Alice died in the night
I've been learnin' to drive my whole life
I've been learnin'
[Verse 3]
I like the peace in the backseat
I don't have to drive, I don't have to speak
I can watch the countryside
[Chorus]
Alice died in the night
I've been learnin' to drive my whole life
I've been learnin' how
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ah
Ooh, ooh
