Amsterdam Lyrics

It was always Amsterdam
Where we would put the distance to an end
We had a plan
Gonna lay it out on a queen-sized bed
Catching up on twenty-one
Meet all your friends back home
That was not what it was
Broke it off on the telephone

It was always absolute
Everybody said we were moving fast
But now I'm pretty over school
Switching out my books for the Eurail Pass
And all these dreams of Amsterdam
Where you'd surprise me with a yellow bike
With a basket that didn't match it
That I guess I'll never get to ride

Oh, oh
Calling it a change of plans
Oh, oh
Just a building on a postal stamp
Oh, oh
A change of plans

Might've been a long shot
Better that it's gone if it's gonna go
But, man, you kinda messed me up
'Cause I don't have a place to go back home
Is this just twenty-one
And somethings gotta give?
Well, I still got a bill for a ticket that I'm stuck with

Oh, oh
Calling it a change of plans
Oh, oh
Just a building on a postal stamp
Oh, oh
Just calling it a change of plans
Oh, oh
Just a building on a postal stamp

Oh, we're calling it a change of plans
Just a building on a postal stamp
It's a change of plans
Oh (it's over)
(It's a change of plans)

What is the Meaning of Amsterdam?

Ever had grand plans that ended up as nothing more than a pipe dream? Wild Rivers paints the picture of a relationship that was supposed to culminate in romantic escapades through Amsterdam, but instead, fizzled out over a phone call. The protagonist is left grappling with the abrupt change—trading textbooks for Eurail passes and yellow bikes for heartbreak. It's a bittersweet ode to young love, thwarted plans, and the realization that sometimes life hands you lemons when you were expecting Dutch tulips. So here's to plans gone awry and tickets you'll never use—sometimes all you've got left is a metaphorical building on a postal stamp.
