My first request! Thank you Anne, these are fantastic lyrics. If you don't mind, would you comment on what the lyrics mean to you?
For the rest of us, enjoy...
This is "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson
Well can't you see that it's just raining
there ain't no need to go outside...
But Baby, You hardly even notice
when I try to show you
this song is meant to keep ya
from doing what you're supposed to
waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
make you banana pancakes
pretend like it's the weekend now
And we can pretend it all the time, yeah
Can't you see that it's just raining
there ain't no need to go outside
But just maybe,
halaka ukulele
mama made a baby
Really dont mind the practice
cause you're my little lady
lady lady love me
cause I love to lay here lazy
we could close the curtains
pretend like there's no world outside
And we can pretend it all the time
and Cant you see that it's just raining
there ain't no need to go outside
ain't no need ain't no need Mmmm MMmmm
Can't you see, can't you see
rain all day
and I dont mind.
But the telephone singing
ringing it's too early
don't pick it up
we don't need to we got everything
we need right here
and everything we need is enough
just so easy
when the whole world fits inside of your arms
do we really need to pay attention to the alarm?
wake up slow, mmm mmm wake up slow
But baby You hardly even notice
when I try to show you
this song is meant to keep ya
from doing what you're supposed to
waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
make you banana pancakes
pretend like its the weekend now
And we can pretend it all the time
Cant you see that its just raining
aint no need to go outside
aint no need aint no need
rain all day
and i really really really don't mind
Can't you see, can't you see,
you gotta wake up slow

Honestly I really think that too often we get caught up in the routine of life and we forget to stop and eat banana pancakes when we should be somewhere else:)Those days where we put aside work and obligations, just to "be" are typically the most memorable. Also, Recently I began to spend more time with the BF and I realized how much more I love him and how much I truly love just "being" with him. It doesn't matter if we are in separate rooms, or cuddled up on the couch as long as we are together...corny I know, but this song reminded me of the way I feel when we can just co-exist and everything just feels right.
It's not corny. I think it's everything everyone strives for. Your description is so well worded. You are a romantic soul my friend and I hope every desire you have in life is forever fulfilled. Thanks for sharing your feeling on these lyrics...now I'm going to get some banana pancakes!
