Designated Driver

Verse:

Sitting in the parking lot

Made a U-turn on the deadliest road in Dallas

I wish I knew what you’d wanted

Call me when you get home

I always pick up faster when I

Pre-chorus:

See your name, I thought about you too much today

So I ran away

Chorus:

I want to be your designated driver, consignment store survivor

Suburban traffic singing partner, yellow bathroom lighting barber

Your favorite makeup artist who lets you talk to feel cathartic

I don’t think I’ll ever get clean, you left a dent in my passenger seat

Verse:

I filled the void you left with parts of me

I was made to be unkind

To not tell you I miss you takes everything

It makes me lose my mind

Pre-chorus:

I see you stayed with those friends you hated

So you’re still afraid, but I still run away

Chorus:

I want to be your designated driver, consignment store survivor

Suburban traffic singing partner, yellow bathroom lighting barber

Your favorite makeup artist who lets you talk to feel cathartic

I don’t think I’ll ever get clean, you left a dent in my passenger seat

Bridge:

How can I hate you but miss you and want to see you every day?

Go to department stores for fun like I didn’t ruin everything

It’s a shame we brought out the worst in each other

When we just wanted to heal one another

So I’m letting go of holding on

Chorus:

I want to be your designated driver, consignment store survivor

Suburban traffic singing partner, yellow bathroom lighting barber

Your favorite makeup artist who lets you talk to feel cathartic

I don’t think I’ll ever get clean, you left a dent in my passenger seat
