8 Hour Drive

Lyrics

[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
