lyrics
I was on a mission from god
I could feel it in my bones
In the front seat of your car
You were driving me home.
Dead of summer
A/C’s on
iPod’s In I wanna play you a song...
(Driving)
Out the window
The greens are greener
Than they’ve ever looked in our old home town
I’m excited
And you’re smiling
Could I bring the moment to its crisis?
(Driving Home)
I’ve been dreaming
of being with you
In 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,
like a disguised Athena,
Is 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 Ms. O’Hara?”
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?
(Driving Home)
I said “no, let’s keep going”
You agree but with disappointment
I feel strange, like fight or flight
And the song I’ve waited to play you for so long
Oozes out of
Your car speakers
This wasn’t the effect I had planned on.
Now you’re driving
And it’s silent
A decision I think I picked wrong.
dropped me off
And I said goodbye
And your chest didn’t get red like it used to
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’ve been more fun…
Next time I will
Follow chance
Instead of fearing how it could ruin my one shot at romance.
I’m driving, driving home.

Acoustic 12 String Guitar - Sam Wilkes
Vocals - Sam Wilkes
Written by Sam Wilkes
Sam Wilkes records music. Composer, Producer, Arranger, Bassist. Performs live primarily playing a fender precision bass. Sam Wilkes lives in Los Angeles, California.
Just discovered Sam Wilkes and some of his work and bass playing, and arrived to this record. It reminds me a lot to John Hassell/Eno era a bit more jazzy, and all the ambient music from the 80’s. I love it! Santi Umbert
Every time I listen to it, it brings me so many memories and lots of joy. A really well crafted album where you can feel the effort put into every song. Had the chance to attend one of the gigs at the Church of Sound in London which for me, was one of the most memorable shows I've been so far. Not only because of the engagement of the audience but also the level of intimacy reached by these two. virgimarine
