Bricks And Steel lyrics - Frank Ocean

If a tree fell in the forest

And no one was around to hear it

Baby, does it go boom?

Does it go boom?

If I have love for ya

But you were never close enough to feel it

Is my love any good?

Is my love any good?

Oh

But the distance ain't even a room away

You're laying in the bed right next to me

But there might as well be a brick wall in between us

Some soundproof glass

And some bars in the middle

Oh baby, when I wanna talk to you

I'm conversing with bricks and steel

A pile of bricks and steel

And when I tap your shoulder

You're cold as bricks and steel

A pile of bricks and steel

How do I stay in love with your rubbish

All the leftovers and garbage

Was it ever real

If you were never here?

Bricks and steel, walk around my kitchen

Like a pile of bricks and steel

Bricks, bricks

Steel, steel

I know you're somewhere in there

Sometimes I wanna pick up a hammer

And start chiseling away, away

Chiseling away, away

Girl my phone bill is crazy

The rate is sky high when I call ya

But you only let it ring

You only let it ring, oh

But the distance ain't even a room away

You're laying in the bed right next to me

Oh but there might as well be a brick wall in between us

Some soundproof glass

And some bars in the middle

Oh baby, when I wanna talk to you

I'm conversing with bricks and steel

A pile of bricks and steel

And when I tap your shoulders

You're cold as bricks and steel

A pile of bricks and steel

And how do I stay in love with your rubbish

Shorty leftovers in garbage

Was it ever real

If you were never here?

Bricks and steel, walk around my kitchen

Like a pile of bricks and steel

Bricks, bricks

Steel, steel

Stomp, stomp

I think I hear 'em coming down the hall

He don't hear a word I say at all

I'm wishing these 4 walls could talk, talk

Oh, stomp, stomp

I think I hear 'em coming down the hall and

He don't hear a word I said, oh, oh, oh

Oh baby, when I wanna talk to you

I'm conversing with bricks and steel

A pile of bricks and steel

And when I tap your shoulders

You're cold as bricks and steel

A pile of bricks and steel

How do I stay in love with your rubbish

All the leftovers and garbage

Was it ever real

If you were never here?

Bricks and steel, walk around my kitchen

Like a pile of bricks and steel

Bricks, bricks

Steel, steel
