Neptune

(album: Handsome Ghost - 2023)

You said isn't that better rising up from my sink
Hair down to your shoulders show me bright blue streaks
One and then another and some blue on the ground
Well, all of this color and it's so dark out

In the world
May we hold on to the pretty stuff
Showed me your tattoo of Neptune
And told me that nowhere's ever far enough

Then I was driving you home
I was driving you home

Dead of that winter in my brother's car
Heavy snow settled took us twice as long
Smoked out the window then you drew me a map
Said this is us here now look at all of that

You were reaching
No this can't be all we ever are
Maybe we try California
Maybe we marry us some movie stars

Then I was driving you home
I was driving home

Found you much later you were in it deep
Dive down on the corner where you drank for free
Wrapped your tiny fingers round a microphone
Oh, and you were singing you were no, no nobody's woman

I knew a couple boys who thought you were
Said you're just trying to teach them
But look how they never learn
They never learn they never learn

I was driving you home
I was driving you home
