these lyrics are so much deeper now after he released that letter... I bet this song is about exactly that summer. Frank Ocean you are an incredible artist, truely inspirational...
My right hand to God Left hand holding the jewels And I'm swearing up and down Tide stole my youth The creases in my brow ain't tan lines Saltwater swole my eyes The sun's burning black and blue Too cold this side of June It ain't natural Right hand in yours Left hand holding the juice When that jungle flower blooms Better leave it in the ground Don't try to cut it out The creases in your brow ain't tan lines Saltwater swole my eyes The sun burned black and blue on your green eyes Too cold this side of June That ain't natural I'll rebel, I'll rebel But this ain't natural I'll take care, I'll take care If this ain't going well I'm no match for you This isn't hard to tell That it ain't going well When we're under the palm trees Thinking heaven must be Somewhere under these palm trees With all the hell we're raising At least we had the palm trees To shade us from the ray beams But not even the palm trees Could save us from the flames Summer remains Oh, summer remains Oh yeah, summer remain Summer remain
