Sometimes I feel bad, that you don't really want to talk much anymore

Then I miss the time when I could be mad at you, now it's quiet

With the fall of the night

I whisper softly now; do you maybe hear me?

I just don't know how

With everything I do

I can't handle it when it's evening

Because in the evenings I often miss you

You know I don't listen when you talk like this

And it hits me like this

And then it goes

Tell me that it will be okay

Give me pieces of the future

Or should I just let you go

I can't handle it when it's evening

I have often missed you indeed

Now you're standing here in front of me again

I don't doubt for a second, do you feel this too?

Your hand in mine or is this too little to continue?

With everything you say

I don't feel that you're fighting, is this maybe over?

I just don't know how

With everything I do

I can't handle it when it's evening

Because in the evenings I often miss you

You know I don't listen when you talk like this

And it hits me like this

And then it goes

Tell me that it will be okay

Give me pieces of the future

Or should I just let you go

I can't handle it when it's evening

I have often missed you indeed

I can't handle it when it's evening

Because in the evenings I often miss you

I can't handle it when it's evening

I have often missed you indeed

SONG MEANING

“Als Het Avond Is” (When Evening Comes) is a heartfelt Dutch pop ballad in which Suzan & Freek paint the quiet hours of dusk as the most difficult time for anyone nursing a broken heart. The singer confesses that nights are when memories get loud: conversations have faded, anger has cooled, yet the silence feels heavier than ever. As daylight disappears, they whisper questions into the dark, begging for reassurance, a glimpse of the future, anything that will stop the aching feeling of missing someone who might already be slipping away.

Listen closely and you will hear a tug-of-war between hope and surrender:

Longing – the narrator cannot handle evenings because that is when loneliness hits hardest.
Doubt – every word, every silence makes them wonder if the other person still cares or is ready to move on.
A plea for clarity – “Tell me it will be fine, give me pieces of the future” shows the desperate need for either commitment or closure.

Wrapped in gentle guitar and tender harmonies, the song turns an ordinary sunset into an emotional battleground, reminding us how powerful—and painful—love can feel when the world goes quiet.
