Lyrics

On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that   like you
I   that's deja vu
But I   this can't be true
'Cause you moved to   L.A
or New York or Santa Fe
Or where ever to     from me

Oh but that one night
Was more than    
I didn't leave you cause I was all  
Oh I was   and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

Oh I swear to ya, I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty   to   my love
When you move me everything is  
They don't like it   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   spiral
My love for you went  
And I loved you every mile you    
But now here you are again
So let's   the "how you been"
And get down to the "more than   " at last

Oh but that one night
Is still the  
I didn't need you until I   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   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
This is not a drive by

Meaning

The 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".
