I took a train to Amsterdam To make me fall in love again My head was full of dreams that day While you were only scared it ran away From you We were only twenty-one Living life the way it comes We bought a house A couch to match the colors on the walls We said "It's ours, we're home" Ooh, I always thought my always was with you Now I know it all can fall to pieces I'll never be the same because of you Nothing shapes a heart like a first love We were chasing happiness In a world that's full of emptiness Hunting all our hollow dreams Burning up our love behind the scenes Too young to wait around for change Stuck inside our golden cage We took a piece of dynamite And blew our fading castle from the sky Ooh, I always thought my always was with you Now I know it all can fall to pieces I'll never be the same because of you Nothing shapes a heart like a first love The sweet and the bitter The saint and the sinner The stayer, the quitter, oh The sweet and the bitter The saint and the sinner The stayer, the quitter, oh I always thought my always was with you Now I know it all can fall to pieces I'll never be the same because of you Nothing shapes a heart like a first love I took a train to Amsterdam
