KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 ya, I'll be there for ya
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
This is not a drive by
The song "Drive By" by Train tells the story of a man who runs into a woman he used to know and love. He saw someone who looked like her, and he had a deja vu. He realizes it was actually her on the other side of the street. He had thought she had moved away to get away from him but is now back. The song is a love song with a positive message about not giving up on love. The first verse talks about the woman moving away to get away from the singer, but he still remembers the way she looked.
In the second verse, the singer is reminiscing about the past and thinking about how much he loved this woman. He is now seeing her after years of separation, and he is filled with joy but also scared of what might happen next. He realizes he still loves her and wants to be with her.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's commitment to being there for the woman he loves. He is not going anywhere and promises to stay by her side. He sings about how everything is "groovy" when she is with him, and he doesn't care what anyone else thinks about their love.
Overall, “Drive By” is a catchy and upbeat song about love and the rekindling of old relationships. It showcases Train’s unique style of combining rock and pop music.
