​strawberry swing Lyrics

[Verse 1: Frank Ocean]
When we were kids
We handpainted strawberries on a swing
Every moment was so precious
Then

I'm still kicking
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

[Verse 2: Frank Ocean]
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
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
[Bridge: Frank Ocean]
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


[Outro: Chris Martin]
Ah, 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
The sky could be blue, could be grey
Without you, I'm just miles away
The sky could be blue, I don't mind
Without you, it's a waste of time

(*alarm clock*)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Strawberry Swing,” the first actual song on Nostalgia, ULTRA., immediately introduces the theme of the entire mixtape – nostalgia.

Now that he’s grown up, Frank reminisces upon all the good times he had with a childhood friend. He also expands on a scenario in which the Earth itself will soon become a memory, as it’s destroyed itself.
