[Verse 1]
Babe, just say you miss me, is it that hard?
Too long since I've heard about our love
Am I in this by myself? Hey yeah
With rose colored lenses on my store bought frames
To see something other than these blues and grays
I need something different, hey yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause you ain't feeling the same
[Hook]
Who knows, maybe I'm crazy, that's one big maybe
But even a fool knows when it's gold, gold, gold
I know pyrite from 24 karat, yeah
Cubic's from genuine diamond, yeah
A call from the woman who loves you and hello from a friend
I know when it's real, I know how to tell
I know the difference between what you say and how you feel
Oh, oh I know when it's real
[Verse 2]
Oh, I can tell the difference every time that you call
But I don’t need a drink I need some time in my car
Time to drive and think, time to park and cry
You shoulda known you were beautiful
You shoulda known what I saw in you, yeah
Please forgive me for feeling like it’s all your fault
A heavy heart can’t carry blame for the loss
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
You might not notice but I’m a man with pride
And this hurts me baby deep down, deep down
I can’t let go of this, gotta know I tried
It’s pathetic baby don’t lie, don’t lie
I’m a candle, you’re the sun
And you’re burning baby, you're burning baby
Burning up, burning up
Burning up, burning up, burning up, yeah
Pyrite from 24 karat yeah
Cubic’s from genuine diamond yeah
A call from the woman who loves you
And hello from a friend
We'll never be more than friends
We'll never be...

This was the very first frank ocean song I heard in middle school on tumblr I recorded it on my phone and would listen to it everyday walking home by myself.

"Put rose colored lenses on these store bought frames, to see something other than these blues and greys" I love that line

don’t care how many of y’all wanted to gate keep this. i NEEDED to hear this wow

[@kvn982]

Found this song bc of TikTok. It’s currently 4:42 am. Can’t sleep. In a lot of pain from a foot injury that’s apparently gonna take weeks to heal. Feeling defeated in life but I love this comment section and I want everyone to know that I love you. You’re all beautiful ❤

[@nubkuurvy3337]

Add it through local files so you can have it in your playlists

[@mello1289]

When I hear this song I act as if I’m singing to myself. If anyone is looking at this in 2020, remember to love yourself and tell yourself that you are enough.

[@belmaris__]

Wow. I never thought of this song that way. I’m gonna cry when I get home now 😭

[@ChellinaAchol]

I agree it's an ode to loving yourself in all its complicated forms. Stay true to yourself.

[@mello1289]

I come back to this song a year later and need it. Love it lol

[@nyasiamae]

yall r wrong for gatekeeping this. this song is so pretty i needed this.

[@dontagia1462]

this song reminds me of happy moments that overlap and makes everything so sad, kinda like how sadness in that disney movie made those core memories blue.

[@Kc-mz2sf]

You get it

[@r1ckyrusso]

Only Frank Ocean music gives me a certain type of vibe, idk why

[@mercyultra101]

A girl I used to love told me about this song. We were in her kitchen, dancing, talking, being alive. And I felt that, in this very moment, the world stopped moving and all I saw were her eyes, the song echoing trough my head. I loved her and I will always love her. :))

[@Lillydonahue09]

Exactly why I’m showing him this song…

[@i_am_gorg9080]

i’m sorry babes you deserve nothing bad❤

[@ateeras_lens]

frank always showing up right when I need him

[@melvintejera196]

One of the greatest Frank Ocean songs ever. Amazing and classic.

[@beastplayshonest2510]

Ik she’ll never see this but The love of my life’s favorite artist is frank ocean and I lost her due to my own actions. I’ve been listening to him everyday to feel close to her even though we’re in no contact we check on each other through social media and things. I find comfort in the loss of our love with his music I think god will bring us back together so I can give her everything I should’ve in this life and the next. I love you Kyla and I miss you more than life everyday and I’m growing and making myself better for a better us later in our lives.

[@user-go2zq9ie1f]

[@lillyohara3361]

[@arjunsantiago4385]

Enthusiastical experience of Warm-sadness. Mixed with deep affection, nostalgia, and indecisive certainty. Cool on the outside, hot in the middle. He knows he's unsure. He knows he is hurting. He knows his instincts have not failed him. He knows she is at fault. He knows he's at fault. He knows it's all his fault. He knows everything is still alright. He knows it all is simultaneously true. He knows something needs to change. He knows something is missing. He knows he misses her. He knows she misses him. He knows everything is perfect. He knows she's the one, but she isn't the one. He knows he should run. He knows he needs to stay and dance. He knows that words don't always align with our true sentiment. He knows he needs to take control, while relinquishing some to her and fate. He knows they need time. He knows they don't have time to waste. He's knows-he doesn't know, yet still knows. PS. But who knows, maybe I'm crazy.

I have all of Lonny Breaux Collection on my iPod Nano (6th gen). This was 2011 as a Junior in HS going into my summer break. Maaan, every song brings a nostalgic feeling even then and now. "Time to drive and think. Time to park and cry." Those lyrics hit just as strong if not stronger today.
