Frank Ocean - Close To You Lyrics






I will be honest, I wasn't devastated
But you could've held my hand through this, baby
In my mind, I didn't need
Warned your ex
I run my hands through what's left
But we're getting older, baby
How much longer baby?
Why am I preaching?
To this choir, to the saved kids
Just like mine versions of these belong to you
After a while
They're keeping me close to you

(Just like me, they long to be
Close to you)

    I'll be honest, I wasn't devastated
    But you could've held my hands through this, baby
    Let my mind run underneath warm jets
    I run my hands through what's left
    But we're getting older, baby
    Don't have much longer baby
    Why am I preaching
    To this choir, to this atheist?
    Just like mine, versions of these belong to you
    After a while
    They're keeping me close to you


    That is why
    Never can say goodbye
    Oh no no no, I
    Never can say goodbye
    Even though the pain and heartache
    Seems to follow me whenever I go
    Try to hide the feelings
    But they always seem to show
    You say "turn around, you fool"
    You know I love you more and more
    Tell me why is it so-
    I don't wanna let you go


    I never can say goodbye.

    Why is there a video of Brad Pitt on the phone?

  41. S.... h....

    Brad on the phone listening:
    - many college students have gone to college...

    S.... h....

    Sergio hernandez ahahahaah

    S.... h....

    Sergio hernandez and gotten hooked on drugs, marijuana, and alcohol. LISTEN. stop trying to be someone else. don’t try to be somebody else. be yourself and KNOW that that’s good enough. don’t try to be someone else. don’t try to be like someone else, don’t try to act like someone else, be yourself. be secure with yourself. rely and trust upon your own decisions. on your own BELIEFS. your understand the things that I’ve taught you; not to drink alcohol, not to use drugs... don’t use that cocaine or marijuana, because that stuff is highly addictive. when people become weed heads, they become SLUGGISH, LAZY, STUPID, and UNCONCERNED. SLUGGISH, LAZY, STUPID, AND UNCONCERNED. that’s all marijuana does to you. okay? this is mom. unless your taking it under a doctors... uh, control. then it’s regulated. do not smoke marijuana do not consume alcohol, do not get in the car with someone who is inebriated. this is mom. call me, bye.

    S.... h....

    Sergio hernandez -I was just telling that I got this girl before
    And I was together since 3 years
    And uhh, I was not even cheating her or what
    And Facebook arrived and, uh
    She wanted me to accept her on Facebook
    And I don't want it because I was like in front of her
    And she told me like "Accept me on Facebook"
    It was virtual, means no sense
    So I say "I'm in front of you, I don't need to accept you on Facebook"
    She started to be crazy
    She thought that because I didn't accept her
    She thought I was cheating
    She told me like, uh, "It's over, I can't believe you"
    I said "come on, you're crazy, because like yeah
    I'm in front of you, I'm every day here in your house"
    That's, it means like it's jealousy
    Pure jealousy for nothing
    You know, virtual thing

    S.... h....

    @Frank Ocean I literally read Facebook as "Fazebook" like the recording lol

  42. c.... ....

    Frank Ocean's 11

  43. M.... R....

    Ouch. Those vocals...rough. so flat...

  44. J.... S....

    *These phone-zombies though...*

  45. l.... b....

    i love this with all my heart thank you so much for posting this, i hope it doesnt get deleted soon😔

    l.... b....

    S same !!! I watch this like everyday. And fricken Brad Pitt is here too- acting all intimate and sad

    l.... b....

    @Andrei Blanca One of the best singers of all time performing with one of the best actors of all time. Literally doesn't get much better than that.

  46. O.... C....

    The reasoning for this is because bard Pitt said that blonde helped him through his divorce with Angelina jolie and I think this song was the one that helped him the most or something like that that’s why he’s listening to the song ‘through the phone’ showing the importance of the song to him

    O.... C....

    Orlagh Cousins yup! So beautiful how he admires Frank and how music can really help someone thru things. Somewhere I read that frank sang to him somewhere and he cried. I love their admiration for one another.

    O.... C....

    @Keenan Abiyyu on some website article i read that they met up or something and he sang the song to him.

    O.... C....

    Orlagh Cousins I read that Brad being on his phone is reference to phone commercials from back in the day. But I like ur theory better

  47. n.... h....

    Someone’s literally holding a mike..

  48. F.... ....

    this is so freakin cool

  49. T.... P....

    The beginning sounds like kissing your crush for the first time.

    T.... P....

    how did u describe that so perfectly

  50. s.... ....

    Where is Brad Pitt?

  51. n.... ....

    i wonder if they recorded the picture they were airing to the big screen

    n.... ....

    it was live streaming to the screen. Brad was sitting behind the speakers that Frank is sitting in front of

    n.... ....

    @Leo Wayne yea I know. I wonder if they recorded the footage filmed on that camera

  52. C.... W....

    Writing an essay on this video!

    C.... W....

    Child Wonder send that when you’re done!!

    C.... W....

    Leo Wayne me too!!

    C.... W....

    Wow nice ! I would also like to read it if you don’t mind. You

    C.... W....

    @Leo Wayne Kind of slipped my mind but I'll still put this up here if any of you'd like to read it, I had fun even though I really had to limit ideas due to wordcount. file:///C:/Users/ewjoo/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_frank%20essay%20(1).zip/frankessay.html

  54. R.... P....

  55. J.... A....

    I was so high and confused as to why Brad Pitt was just sitting there on the phone lol. The performance was beautiful though.

    J.... A....

    Because it was a vibe duh and he’s a huge frank fan

    J.... A....

    You took my exact words, thank you.

  56. m.... a....

    i wonder whether it's vulf-compressed

  57. J.... C....

    Good thing all those phones recorded it

  58. J.... B....

    So he's not even there? And everyone's recording it anyway

    J.... B....

    Indian -Here yes

  78. p.... ....

    Man I hope someone recorded this on their phone

    p.... ....

    😭😭😭😭

    p.... ....

    An amazing comment

    p.... ....

    Doubtful... I mean, who even does that?

    p.... ....

    no seems like nobody is

    p.... ....

    Fair enough if people want to record a moment in a concert, but I never understood how people can spend the whole time watching it through their 5 inch screen.

  79. r.... d....

    he be flat tho

  80. J.... N....

    New Frank 2019 babbbyyy

  81. j.... ....

    I love me some frank ocean but his pitch is horrible in this

    j.... ....

    juka421 how

    j.... ....

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if you can’t hear how off he is then you live in a different world. He’s flat most of the performance.

  82. K.... ....

    is the brad pitt part pre-recorded?

    K.... ....

    No he's sitting behind them ... You can see it at around 3:08 i think

  83. A.... ....

    The best Brad Pitt performance ever.

  84. J.... S....

    I swear to fuck Frank has some hold on these Hollywood people, first Beyonce with uncredited vocals and now just getting Brad pit to sit on stage for one song? Blows my mind

  85. G.... G....

    I thought Frank Ocean is White

    G.... G....

    He is he preforms with heavy makeup

  86. A.... H....

    we stan frank ocean forever

  87. A.... S....

    since no one seems to be getting the reference, i’ll explain;

    in 2007 Brad Pitt did a bunch of commercials for SoftBank where he’d walk around and talk on his phone, but no one would actually hear him talking because there was music playing in the background.

    so with this performance, 10 years later, it was kind of a reflection of his commercials, music playing and no voice.

    A.... S....

    that's amazing, so nostalgic in a sense and I think ima cry !

    A.... S....

    Tks 🖤

    A.... S....

    Alan S QIq

    A.... S....

    Lemon Saggot QqqQqQaQQqQqQQQQQQQQ

  88. A.... J....

    Why are people saying Stevie Wonder? Isn’t this a semi cover of Never Can Say Goodbye by The Jackson 5?

    A.... J....

    Stevie did a cover of two songs in one. Franks "close to you" is a cover of stevie wonder's cover

  89. A.... ....

    Producers : we want you to perform at frank oceans concert

    Brad : cool what’s the role

    Producers : we just need you to look sad while you pretend to be on the phone

    A.... ....

    Like honestly tho that’s what it is

    A.... ....

    And apparently he said yes

    A.... ....

    I mean he's a great actor so he's perfect for the role

  90. P.... b....

    Everytime I hear this motherfcuker perform live he goes off key 🗝🔨
