A track from Peter Bjorn and John's breakout album Writer's Block (the one with "Young Folks), this song is about a guy whose girl goes off to Amsterdam for a few days, and he can't stop thinking about it. He finds it hard to be alone, but knows he must deal with it.

In our interview with Björn Yttling, he said that this song was inspired by the 2000 Lou Reed song "Modern Dance," where Reed sings: Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdam in a side street near a big canal
