Lyrics
Recovering from yesterday,
Reflecting on the events of the past.
Come and join me on a nightwalk.
Inviting someone to accompany on a nighttime stroll.
I don't need a lot,
Expressing contentment with simplicity, not requiring much.
Spending winter on the balcony.
Choosing to spend the winter outdoors on the balcony.
Thinking about home
Contemplating thoughts about one's home.
Keeps me running on, running on, running on,
Deriving motivation to keep going from thoughts of home.
Spilling drinks, yeah, when in Amsterdam.
Recollecting moments of enjoyment and relaxation, possibly involving drinking, in Amsterdam.
Stepping through the dusk of day,
Navigating through the transition from day to night.
Gravitated to the red light.
Being drawn towards the suggestive atmosphere of the red light district.
If you leave me now,
Addressing the possibility of separation, emphasizing the value of memories.
All we're keeping is a memory.
Highlighting that only memories will remain if a departure occurs.
Taking it slow,
Approaching life with a deliberate and unhurried pace.
'Cause you never know, never know, never know,
Emphasizing the uncertainty of the future, hence the need for caution.
Spilling drinks, yeah, when in Amsterdam.
Recalling enjoyable moments, possibly involving drinks, in Amsterdam.
Talking on the telephone,
Engaging in a conversation over the phone.
Yeah, I'm fine but far from grown, I know.
Acknowledging well-being but recognizing the journey to maturity is ongoing.
Hold up I got to go,
Interrupting the conversation, needing to leave.
I liked to hear you speak, not what you said though.
Expressing a preference for the sound of the speaker's voice over the content of their words.
Seems to me that you don't mind,
Noting the apparent indifference to the speaker's difficulty sleeping at times.
Knowing I can't sleep at night sometimes.
Referencing the challenge of coping with insomnia in Amsterdam.
Sunrise, I let it go, when in Amsterdam.
Letting go of worries at sunrise in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Amsterdam,...
Repeating the name "Amsterdam," possibly to emphasize its significance or as a refrain.
