Frank Ocean Lyrics

The love glows, I know the love glows
The love between us remains strong and vibrant, I am aware of its radiant presence

If we colored our white walls pitch black
If we embraced the darkness and uncertainty in our lives

Turn all the lights off and lay back
Letting go of external distractions, surrendering to the intimacy and vulnerability of the moment

We can make love with our bare hands
We can create a deep connection and passion without any physical objects or barriers

We can make light out of thin air
We have the ability to find happiness and joy even in the most difficult or challenging situations

Or we can close our eyes and sleep well
Alternatively, we can find peace and contentment by letting go and embracing the tranquility of sleep

Dreams feel realer than right now
Sometimes our dreams and fantasies can feel more vivid and meaningful than our current reality

But whatever you do don’t let go
Regardless of the circumstances, please don't release your hold on our relationship

My only nightmare is waking up alone
My greatest fear is the thought of starting a new day without you by my side

In a world where you’re not mine
Imagining a reality where we are not together, which feels incredibly lonely and empty

And the room painted off white
Being in a space that lacks color and vibrancy, symbolizing the absence of our love

Running out in the daylight
Desperately trying to find my way back to you, searching for your presence and love

Tryna get back to you
Putting in all the effort and determination to reunite and reconnect with you

When I stare into your eyes
When I gaze deeply into your eyes, I see my true purpose and fulfillment in life

I see my real life
Your presence and love bring meaning and authenticity to my existence

That’s why I never sleep with my back to you
I always make sure to sleep facing you, symbolizing my constant commitment and dedication to our relationship

Laying under the covers that I stole
Being wrapped in the warmth and comfort of the bed sheets I took from your side of the bed

From your side of the bed cause I got cold
Taking your belongings to ease my physical discomfort, showcasing my reliance on your presence

You rolled over and whispered ro-robbery
You playfully acknowledge my act of taking your things, emphasizing the intimacy and familiarity between us

So you been sleeping with a thief in your bed
You have accepted and embraced my presence, even though I have taken something precious from you

Stole your heart and your pillows
Metaphorically speaking, I have captured both your love and the physical comfort you desire

Whatever you do just don’t go
Please, whatever happens, don't leave me or abandon our relationship

Baby, the worst jail is waking up alone
Feeling trapped and imprisoned in a life without you, experiencing a deep sense of emptiness and despair

Like a nightlight like a teddy bear
Symbolizing the warmth, comfort, and sense of security we bring to each other's lives

Like a toddler’s blanket look at us baby
Comparing our relationship to the innocent and pure bond shared between children, highlighting its simplicity and genuineness

Two grownups acting like children
Despite being adults, we find joy and happiness in behaving playfully and carefree with each other

When I lay down, facing you
When I position myself in bed, intentionally facing you to maintain closeness and intimacy

I can feel my eyelids glow
Sensing a warm and comforting sensation, as if my very being is illuminated by the love and connection we share

And if the sun rises behind you
Even if the world around us changes or becomes challenging, as long as I have you by my side, I remain unaware and unaffected

I don’t think I’d notice though
My focus and attention are fully directed towards you, making everything else seem inconsequential and insignificant
