Drive By
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true, 'cause
You moved to West LA
Or New York or Santa Fe
Or Wherever 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
Oh, I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy
Looking for a 2-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me
Everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
The 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 to 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've been and
Get down to the more than friends at last
Oh, but that one night
Was 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 2-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me
Everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
The way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
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 déjà 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 2-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me
Everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
Hmm the way you do me
Oh, I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
