[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
It's all cyclists and metro maps
A maze of multicolored tracks

[Chorus]
It was an eight-hour drive
I couldn't get you out of my mind
I saw three countries pass by
I was so wide-eyed

[Verse 2]
I sent you a postcard from Zurich
From a side street gift shop
Yeah, I bought it on my day off
Couldn't tell you where the picture on the front was

[Pre-Chorus]
It's all blue sky and mountainside
Bet it looks twice as good in real life

[Chorus]
It was an eight-hour drive
I couldn't get you out of my mind
I saw three countries pass by
I was so wide-eyed

[Bridge]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
It was an eight-hour drive
I couldn't get you out of my mind
I saw three countries pass by
I was so wide-eyed
