Strawberry Swing

Frank Ocean · Nostalgia Ultra [2011]

When we were kids

We hand-painted strawberries on a swing

Every moment was so precious then



I'm still kicking it

I'm daydreaming on a strawberry swing

The entire earth is fighting

All the world is at its end



Just in case an atom bomb comes falling on my lawn

I should say and you should hear

I've loved, I've loved the good times here

I've loved our good times here



Say hello then say farewell

To the places you know

We are all mortals, aren't we?

Any moment this could go



Cry, cry, cry, oh, oh, oh, even though that won't change a thing

But you should know, you should hear

That I have loved, I have loved the good times here

And I will miss our good times here



Spaceships are lifting off of a dying world

And millions are left behind while the sky burns

There wasn't room for you and I

Only you, goodbye, goodbye



Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time

Could be blue, I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time



Could be blue, could be gray

Without you I'm just miles away

The sky could be blue, I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time
