Driving Songtext
von Sam Wilkes

I was on a mission from God
And I could feel it in my bones
In the front seat of your car
You were driving me home
Dead of summer, AC′s on
I pause and I wanna play you a song

Out the window, the greens are greener
Than they've ever looked in our old hometown
And I′m excited and you're smiling
Could I bring moment to its crisis?
I've been dreaming of being with you
And every dream that I′ve had for so long
Now you′re driving and I can share what's inspiring
My point of view and path
But then

I disguised Athena as our English teacher


Walking home in this brutal heat
With a big black bag strapped over her shoulder
And her face was red as she walked up that hill
Trudging on this summer day
You say, "Was that Miss O′Hilla?"
And I don't know what to do
Surely it′s the right thing to go and get her
But what about my moment of truth?

I said, "No, let's keep going"
You agreed, but with disappointment
I feel strange, like fight or flight
And a song I′ve waited to play for so long
It oozes out of your car speakers
And this wasn't the effect I had planned on
And now you're driving and the air is silent
A decision I think I picked wrong

Dropped me off, I said goodbye
And your chest didn′t get wet like it used to
And I walked home with my head hanging low
Depressed that there was no chance to
The only chance I had to take
Was to stop and give our teacher a surprise break

But I was on this mission from God
And I couldn′t see what would have been offered
Next time I will follow chance
Instead of fearing how it could ruin my one shot at romance
