Standing Still Lyrics


Guess we knew this was coming on
Cause you're already gone in my head
You can tell me that I'm wrong
That you're staying with me instead
When winter's come along
And summer's dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around
The emptiness I found
And find a way to make you stay
But I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you leave me now
I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you're walking out
Yeah, I'm just standing still
Never thought I'd be this strong

When pieces of me break so easy
What I thought would be the end
Is just the feeling that you freed me
Girl, this ain't givin' up
It's knowing where to stop
Knowing when the thing is over
I know my love is blind
See for the first time
This ain't gonna bring us closer
Cause I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you leave me now, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you're walking out
I'm standing still
And I'm just standing still
As you leave me now
And I'm just standing still
When winter's come along
And summer's dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around
The emptiness I found
And find a way to make you stay
Cause I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you leave me now, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you're walking out
I'm just standing still
I'm just standing still
Yeah, I'm just standing still
Just standing still

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Frank Ocean (born October 28, 1987) is an American singer/songwriter and member of the gleefully hedonistic hip-hop collective OFWGKTA. He was born Christopher "Lonny" Breaux in New Orleans, Louisiana, and now resides in Beverly Hills. He has helped pen tracks for Justin Bieber, John Legend, Brandy, and Beyonce Knowles over the last few years. In 2011, Ocean released his debut mixtape, nostalgia, ULTRA, for free via his Tumblr.

Venting about his decision to drop the record his own way, he took to Twitter on March 1, 2011: "i. did. this. not ISLAND DEF JAM. that's why you see no label logo on the artwork that I DID. guess its my fault for trusting my dumbass lawyer and signing my career over to a failing company. fuck Def Jam & any company that goes the length of signing a kid with dreams & talent w/ no intention of following through. fuck em. now back to my day. i want some oatmeal and toast. brunch swag."

Compared to the mainstream r&b/hip-hop music we hear on the radio now-a-days, Ocean is a breath of fresh air. As a member of the Odd Future (OFWGKTA) collective, his sound is distinctively soulful/r&b influenced, yet done in a way that could pass for something totally different. As Tyler, the Creator states, “It’s Smooth Ass Music About Bitches, Relationships And Being A Rich Young Nigga…But In A Swagged Out Way.”

Ocean was evacuated from the University of New Orleans to Los Angeles, California just as Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005, and stayed in Los Angeles to pursue a music career. Ocean joined Los Angeles based collective OFWGKTA, who he met through mutual friends, at the end of 2009. In the end of 2009, he met Tricky Stewart, who helped Ocean sign a contract with Def Jam Recordings as an artist, however, he was initially unable to build a relationship with the company. In 2010, he changed his name from Christopher "Lonny" Breaux to Christopher Francis Ocean via a legal website. In an April 2011 interview, Ocean intimated that his relationship with Def Jam has strengthened since the release of his mixtape. On April 28, 2011, Ocean was arrested on unspecified charges by the LAPD, and was released on the morning after on April 29, 2011. Ocean joined his OFWGKTA bandmates for the first time on tour from May 12 to May 19, 2011. On May 31, 2011, Def Jam released the single Novacane on iTunes soon followed by Swim Good Taken from his mixtape Nostalgia, ULTRA. His first 'proper' album, "Channel Orange" was released on July 17th, 2012.
