"Drive By" by Train is skeevy as hell.

Happy, upbeat pop songs can sometimes be way darker than you would expect them to be. I, for one, hope it's intentional.



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



He must be such a gentleman.



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



Be careful with whom you have one-night stands, girls, they might begin stalking you across the whole country and then write a song about it.



Oh I swear to ya


I'll be there for ya


This is not a drive by



When a girl instinctively thinks that you're going to shoot her when she sees your car, know that you are doing something wrong.



Just a shy guy looking for a two ply


Hefty bag to hold my love



hefty bag


I... think I've had enough.

  • They've always been bad at lyricking.
  • yea i make potions if ya know what i mean

    Train's lyrics are strange.


    Unfortunately of late they've been strange in a bad way as opposed to a charmingly nonsensical way. :/


    Similar in concept, I think "Everybody Talks" is secretly about a younger boy who's into cougars. 

  • "Mama" back in the sixties or fifties or whatever was also slang for attractive young women, not unlike "shawty" of today.
  • yea i make potions if ya know what i mean

    Yeah but nowadays it's generally slang for older women when used to denote age.


    Also there's reference to a love shack.


    Which can mean many things, and is also a B-52s reference. 

  • Yes, but the song is distinctly written to invoke the spirit of yesteryear.
