Lyrics
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
iPod's in I wanna play you a song
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 moment to it's 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?"
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?
(Driving home-oh-oh-oh-ome)
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
Romance
I'm driving, driving home
