Neptune Drive

[Verse 1]
Neptune Drive was a quiet road,
Where the stars hung low and the wild things spoke.
We carved our names in a crooked tree,
Thought growing up was a guarantee.
You had a look like you’d seen the end,
I had a dream I could not defend.
And somewhere in the middle of that August air,
We lost something we didn’t know was there.
[Chorus]
It was a coming of age,
Like a storm with no warning.
We were fire at night,
And ghosts in the morning.
Memory’s a thief with a soft, slow hand—
It rewrites the truth when you try to stand.
[Verse 2]
We talked big in borrowed jeans,
Drank cheap beer and made dumb schemes.
You said the moon was too far to trust,
And love was a thing you only feel once.
We drove out past the edge of town,
Where the radio died and the world slowed down.
I swear I saw Neptune in your eyes—
A blue that never lies.
[Bridge]
Now it’s years and a few regrets,
Half a song and a cigarette.
I hear your laugh in someone’s face,
Then it’s gone without a trace.
[Final Chorus]
It was a coming of age,
Like a page that’s been weathered.
We were too wild to hold,
Too young to know better.
And memory don’t wait, it don’t explain—
It just leaves you standing in the rain.
[Outro]
Neptune Drive is overgrown,
But some part of me still calls it home.
