Intro
Two, three, four
Verse 1
Cause he wanted to take her, a good hour and a half
Through rain and wind, only one hand on the handlebars
With his other hand on her thighs, 'cause that was as far as he could go
And there's not even wifi here, yet every message gets through
Chorus 1
Cause he was madly in love with her
And he'd never done anything like that before
Cause he'd be back within an hour
Took mom's bike out of the shed
He was madly in love with her
Verse 2
Second year, HAVO-VWO
On my tiptoes through the house to the room
In the middle of the night 'cause it might've been the death of me
And our biggest fear was her dad
Hands above the sheets, could talk for nights on end
For the first time a girl totally respected me, really
It couldn't have been more naive and it couldn't have been more teenage
Chorus 2
I see him cycling down the street
It feels like going back in time
'Cause I was into her then
And she was into me then
He was madly in love with her
And he'd never done anything like that before
Cause he'd be back within an hour
Took mom's bike out of the shed
He was madly in love with her
Bridge
Into her, only her
He was happy to take her back, another hour and a half
But now totally alone, still one hand on the handlebars
Chorus 3
Cause he was madly in love with her
And he'd never done anything like that before
Cause he'd be back within an hour
Never the bike back in the shed again
He was madly in love with her
Outro
Now they're never together anymore
His phone keeps ringing

SONG MEANING

Smoorverliefd literally means head-over-heels in love, and Snelle paints that feeling with the carefree colors of teenage romance. Picture a boy pedalling his mother’s bike for an hour and a half through rain and wind, one hand on the handlebars, the other shyly resting on his crush’s knee. There is no Wi-Fi, yet every message lands straight in the heart. Sneaking into bedrooms after midnight, whisper-talking till sunrise, and panicking about the girl’s dad catching them—all the classic thrills of young love race by like streetlights on that late-night ride.

Years later, the singer looks back and realizes how huge those small moments felt: cutting curfew, sharing secrets, promising to be gone “for just an hour.” The romance eventually fades, the phone keeps ringing unanswered, and the bike is never returned to the shed, but the memory remains a sweet time capsule of innocence, recklessness, and first love’s undeniable rush. Snelle’s nostalgic storytelling reminds us how thrilling it was to risk everything for a single kiss and how those memories can still make our hearts pedal faster.
