Glass Ocean

Intro – Thundercat (soft falsetto)

Mm…

Water don’t break when it’s this still

Just holds everything in

Verse 1 – Frank Ocean (intimate / conversational)

I left your number in a phone I don’t use

Still remember it like a melody I can’t lose

You used to hum when the room got quiet

Like you knew silence better than I did

We never said what it really was

Just let it drift like it wasn’t enough

I think we both knew, just didn’t speak

Like sayin’ it out loud would make it leave

And I been good, yeah, I say that a lot

Got a new place, got a view I bought

But it don’t feel like it looks online

Still got you somewhere in the design

Pre-Chorus – Thundercat (airy)

And the waves don’t crash, they just move

Slow enough to carry you

Back to places you outgrew

But never left

Chorus – Frank Ocean + Thundercat layered

We were floatin’ in a glass ocean

No sound, just motion

Hands close, but we never held

What we felt

Now I’m driftin’ through the same old feeling

Quiet but it’s screaming

If I let it all come through

I’d still choose you

Verse 2 – Frank Ocean

You wore my jacket like it fit your mood

Said it felt like something safe to you

I didn’t ask what you meant by that

Guess I was scared of the answer back

We had a moment on a rooftop edge

City lights hangin’ by a thread

You said, “Don’t fall for what this is”

I laughed it off like I always did

Now I replay it in different ways

Tryna find somethin’ I didn’t say

But it’s all the same when it comes back through

Just me standin’ there next to you

Bridge – Thundercat (playful / cosmic)

Saw your shadow in a passing train

Thought it waved, then it changed again

Maybe I just miss you in everything

Even things that don’t make sense

Chorus – fuller

We were floatin’ in a glass ocean

No sound, just motion

Hands close, but we never held

What we felt

Now I’m driftin’ through the same old feeling

Quiet but it’s screaming

If I let it all come through

I’d still choose you

Outro – Frank Ocean (soft)

Water don’t break…

It just remembers
