[Verse 1] No queue, no speech Just Claire at the door Hot tarmac under me And Michael behind He said, “This is where I don’t follow” I said, “I know” My hand on the frame He checked the exits Then checked my face “You’re sure?” “No,” I said [Pre-Chorus] But I’m going anyway I’m going anyway If it turns wrong I won’t stay Anything feels off I walk out No explanations That was the deal [Chorus] Let’s get to Rotterdam first Let’s get to Rotterdam first I’m not fearless I’m just here Let’s get to Rotterdam first Let’s get to Rotterdam first If I shake, let me shake I’m still here [Verse 2] The cabin cooled me down Soft leather, low light Everything arranged Like someone meant it Sharp eyes by the bulkhead Suit in the back Polo shirt across The aisle, watching Then he looked up “Gabriele Wiater” Like he already knew How to say my name He said he checked my work On Instagram I stopped mid-step Then I laughed inside [Pre-Chorus] Curiosity, he said Context, he said He’d rather know Who he flies with No deep dive? No patterns? No archive crawling? A little smile And I let the silence Do the work If you want to know me Earn it first [Chorus] Let’s get to Rotterdam first Let’s get to Rotterdam first I’m not fearless I’m just here Let’s get to Rotterdam first Let’s get to Rotterdam first If I shake, let me shake I’m still here [Bridge] Michael stayed outside Arms crossed in the heat I saw him through the door Still not moving I gave him one small wave He gave it back Unsweet, unsentimental But it meant enough Thomas said, “For now” And I almost smiled Like a match struck fast Then swallowed whole [Final Chorus] Let’s get to Rotterdam first Let’s get to Rotterdam first I’m not fearless I’m just here Let’s get to Rotterdam first Let’s get to Rotterdam first If I shake, let me shake I’m still here Let’s get to Rotterdam first Let’s get to Rotterdam first Door open, heart loud But I’m here
