This seems at first to be just another song about getting drunk and scoring... but it's not. Listen up, because the theme is one that is surprisingly not frequently addressed.

Temporary Insanity
(written by Chris Tondreau)

Sometimes I like to drink a wee bit, sometimes I drink more

I don't know my name and I sure don't know yours, but I'm turning into a flirt

But when it comes time to leave

By the look in your eyes I know I'm not going home, at least not alone, and I...

I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO PLEAD TEMPORARY INSANITY

FOR EVER GETTING INVOLVED WITH A GUY LIKE ME

I guess you must have liked the way I told you what you wanted to hear

and I guess I must have liked the way you showed no sign of fear

And when we got to your room

There was something about you that told me I wasn't leaving soon, at least not tonight and I...

CHORUS

Well morning came and it was time to leave, but it was you who drove me here

How can you really expect me to walk when my car's two hours away?

Does it make you feel guilty? Do you really want to drive me there, and drive home alone?
