8 Hour Drive

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 metromaps
 A maze of multicoloured 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
