8 Hour Drive - Riley Pearce

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
