(Verse 1)

I'm not the one to call

When you're alone and you want some

I'm not the one to call

When you're alone and you want some

I'm not the one to call

When you're alone and you want some

I'm not the one to call

When you're alone and you want some

(Chorus)

And we're just driving through the potholes

In the backseat, we're just driving through the potholes

In the backseat, we're just driving through the potholes

In the backseat, we're just driving through the potholes

(Verse 2)

You're not the one to call

When I'm alone and I want some

You're not the one to call

When I'm alone and I want some

You're not the one to call

When I'm alone and I want some

You're not the one to call

When I'm alone and I want some

(Chorus)

And we're just driving through the potholes

In the backseat, we're just driving through the potholes

In the backseat, we're just driving through the potholes

In the backseat, we're just driving through the potholes

(Outro)

We're just driving, we're just driving

Through the potholes, through the potholes

We're just driving, we're just driving

Through the potholes, through the potholes

These lyrics are often interpreted as reflecting a relationship that's perhaps past its prime, filled with bumps ("potholes") and a sense of detachment, despite the physical proximity. The repetition emphasizes the cyclical and perhaps inescapable nature of their dynamic.
