Frank Ocean details the joy of being love on this sultry track. However, he is wary that the relationship might have reached its pinnacle and suspects, "it's all downhill from here." Color plays a frequent part in Ocean's music. Both the titular shades have been used by him previously on the Channel Orange tracks "White" and "Pink Matter." Beyoncé provides vocals on the outro but her presence is barely noticeable, spending her time harmonizing in the background. Queen Bey previously linked with Frank Ocean for "I Miss You" off her 4 album and "Superpower" from the songstress' 2013 self-titled visual record. Pharrell Williams produced the song with Ocean's former Odd Future colleague, Tyler The Creative. Pharrell previously helmed the Channel Orange tracks "Sweet Life" and "End."
Yeah, yeah, um (woo) Yeah, yeah, yeah That's the way every day goes Every time we've no control If the sky is pink and white If the ground is black and yellow It's the same way you showed me Nod my head, don't close my eyes Halfway on a slow move It's the same way you showed me If you could fly then you'd feel south Up north's getting cold soon The way it is, we're on land So I'm someone to hold true Keep you cool when it's still alive Won't let you down when it's all ruin Just the same way you showed me Showed me You showed me love Glory from above Regard, my dear It's all downhill from here In the wake of a hurricane Dark skin of a summer shade Nosedive in the flood lines Tall tower of milk crates It's the same way you showed me Cannonball off the porch side Older kids tryin' off the rooves Just the same way you showed me (you showed) If you could die and come back to life Up for air from the swimming pool You kneel down to the dry land Kiss the Earth that birthed you Gave you tools just to stay alive And make it out when the sun is ruined That's the same way you showed me Showed me You showed me love Glory from above Regard, my dear It's all downhill from here Remember life, remember how it was Climb trees, Michael Jackson, all ends here Say what up to Matthew, to Shoob Say what up to Danny Say what up to life immortality Bending up my Nikes Running out of melpomene, nicotine Stealing granny cigs (take it easy) Gimme something sweet Bitch, I might like immortality This is life, life immortality
