White Ferrari Lyrics

Bad luck to talk on these rides
Mind on the road, your dilated eyes
Watch the clouds float, white Ferrari
Had a good time
16: how was I supposed to know anything?
I let you out at Central
I didn't care to state the plain
Kept my mouth closed
We're both so familiar
White Ferrari

Close by me
You will find
You will find me
Is this the slow body
Left when I forgot to speak
So I text to speech, lesser speeds
Texas speed, yes
Based takes it's toll on me
Eventually, eventually, yes
I only eventually, eventually, yes
I care for you still and I will forever
That was my part of the deal, honest
We got so familiar
Spending each day of the year, White Ferrari
Good times
In this life, life
In this life, life

One too many years
So taste what I lived on a facelift
Mind over matter is magic
I do magic
If you think about it it's over in no time the best life

Ooh, oooh, oooh, ooh
I'm sure we're taller in another dimension
You say we're smaller and not worth the mention
You’re tired of movin', your body’s achin'
We could vacay, there's places to go
Clearly this isn't all that there is
Can't take what's been given
But we're so okay here, we're doing fine
I'm up and naked
You dream of walls that hold us in prison
It's just a scar, at least that's what they call it
And we're free to fall

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Frank Ocean's song White Ferrari delves into the complexities of young love and the journey to finding peace with this past love.

White Ferrari, had a good time (Sweet sixteen, how was I supposed to know anything?) The song starts with this lyric, immediately letting the listeners know that Frank Ocean associates the Ferrari with good times, therefore happy memories. White typically represents purity and peace, and a Ferrari represents going fast and the exhilarating aspect of going fast. White Ferrari represents the late teenage years as they are exhilarating and fast at the same time.
Stick by me, close by me In this part of the song, Frank Ocean sounds like he is almost begging the other person to stay close. Throughout the song, his tone shifts and he eventually becomes more okay with letting go of this person. In this part, he wants to hold onto what he care.
I care for you still and I will forever That was my part of the deal, honest We got so familiar Frank Ocean is almost telling the other person that he still holds up his promise. He is showing how close he got with this person.
Some tattooed eyelids on a facelift (thought you might want to know now) Tattooed eyelids on a facelift represents the memories that no one knows about, because they can't be seen, but are engraved in Frank Ocean because of how meaningful they were.
I'm sure we're taller in a Another dimension You say we're small and not worth the mention Frank Ocean is telling this person that in another world, their love would be more concrete and much grander, compared to their current love.
You dream of walls that hold us in prison It's just a skull, least that's what they call it And we're free to roam Frank Ocean is describing how this love kept him trapped. He is saying how his lover wanted to stay in this enclosed system, and that was trapping Frank Ocean. This enclosed system, or prison, is his mind. He is trying to make peace with this love by getting out of his head and realizing that his mind and image of this love is holding him back. In the very last line, he writes "And we're free to roam," meaning that he finally understands that he can escape this image, make peace and be free.
