There I was in Amsterdam
Sitting by the canal with my feet wet
Sending you messages you won't have read yet
You still had the second half of your dream left
It's all cyclists and metro maps

A maze of multicolored tracks



It was an 8-hour drive

I couldn't get you out of my mind

I saw three countries pass by

I was so wide-eyed



I sent you a postcard from Zurich

From a side street gift shop

I bought it on my day off

Couldn't tell you where the picture on the front was



It's all blue sky and mountainside

Bet it looks twice as good in real life



It was an 8-hour drive

I couldn't get you out of my mind

I saw three countries pass by

I was so wide-eyed



How I miss it when I'm looking back

With my hindsight eyes

A million cars out on the track

A million racing lights

They're all talking to me now



It was an 8-hour drive

I couldn't get you out of my mind

I saw three countries pass by

I was so wide-eyed
