Slow Down in Amsterdam
Slow down in Amsterdam was the last thing that she said
I’m watching people on the train
A snow globe souvenir hiding in the shade
She’ll never be the same
I’m getting lost inside this place
Like the streets I can’t escape
Now I know what I can take
For you
For me
Sideways motion, it’s not for me
Markets full of junk like reality TV
Spoken word in tongues, that I don’t understand
The brown river takes me by the hand
I’m getting lost inside this place
Like the streets I can’t escape
Now I know what I can take
For you
For me
When she’s holding conversations, or leaning on the bar
The certainty of day is not that far
When to call it quits, stories on the bridge
Passing out in the taxi home
I’m getting lost inside this place
Like the streets I can’t escape
Now I know what I can take
For you
For me
