On the other side of a street I knew 00:03
Stood a girl that looked like you 00:05
I guess that's déjà vu 00:08
But I thought this can't be true 'cause 00:09
You moved to west L.A., or New York or Santa Fe 00:12
Or wherever, to get away from me 00:15
Oh, but that one night, was more than just right 00:19
I didn't leave you 'cause I was all through 00:23
Oh, I was overwhelmed, and frankly scared as hell 00:27
Because I really fell for you 00:31
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you 00:35
This is not a drive by 00:39
Just a shy guy, looking for a two-ply Hefty bag 00:43
To hold my love 00:47
When you move me, everything is groovy 00:51
They don't like it sue me, mhmm the way you do me 00:55
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you 00:59
This is not a drive by 01:03
On the upside of a downward spiral 01:08
My love for you went viral 01:10
And I loved you every mile you drove away 01:13
But now here you are again 01:16
So let's skip the, "How you been?" 01:18
And get down to the "More than friends" at last 01:20
Oh, but that one night, is still the highlight 01:24
I didn't need you, until I came to 01:28
And I was overwhelmed, and frankly scared as hell 01:32
Because I really fell for you 01:36
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you 01:40
This is not a drive by 01:44
Just a shy guy, looking for a two-ply Hefty bag 01:48
To hold my love 01:52
When you move me, everything is groovy 01:56
They don't like it sue me, mhmm the way you do me 02:00
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you 02:04
This is not a drive by 02:08
Please believe that when I leave 02:12
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you 02:19
And a little time to get my head together too 02:23
On the other side of a street I knew 02:27
Stood a girl that looked like you 02:29
I guess that's déjà vu 02:31
But I thought this can't be true, 'cause 02:33
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you 02:35

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
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 L.A., 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 two-ply Hefty bag
To hold my love
When you move me, everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me, mhmm the way you do me
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
On the upside 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, mhmm 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 two-ply Hefty bag
To hold my love
When you move me, everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me, mhmm the way you do me
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
