Drive By
TrainThe song is about a guy who falls in love with a one night stand,
but he is scared because he fell for her so he leaves and she then moves away.
He still loves her. Hence the 'this is not a drive by' refers to him not being done with her just because she was a one night stand
He has to prove that their one night stand was not a "drive by".
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's deja vu
But I thought this can't be true
'Cause you moved to west L.A
or New York or Santa Fe
Or where ever to get away from me
Oh but that one night
Was more than just right
I didn't leave you cause i was all through
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me, mm way you do me
Oh I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
On the other side of a downward spiral
My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now here you are again
So let's skip the "how you been"
And get down to the "more than friends" at last
Oh but that one night
Is still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
And I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
Oh I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me, mm way you do me
Oh I swear to ya, I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by
Please believe that when I leave
there's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's deja vu
But I thought this can't be true, 'cause
Oh I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me, mm way you do me
Oh I swear to ya, I'll be there for ya
