Verse 1
Morning leans against the sink,
Light spills slow across the tile.
I peel the day in careful rings,
Holding still a little while.
The fruit bends like a crescent moon,
Soft enough to leave no trace.
Every bite is sweet and plain,
A small horizon in one place.
Pre-Chorus
Nothing has to mean too much.
Nothing has to last forever.
Nothing has to mean too much.
Nothing has to last forever.
Chorus
I'm eating a banana,
Like it's the last bright thing I know.
Yellow fading into silence,
Sugar falling soft and slow.
Oh, yellow, yellow
Slowly, slowly
Yellow, yellow
Hold me, hold me
If joy is just a passing color,
Let it stain me as it goes.
I'm eating a banana,
Watching something simple glow.
Post-Chorus
Peel it back.
Peel it back.
Take a bite.
Take a bite.
Soft light.
Soft light.
Yellow night.
Yellow night.
Verse 2
Outside, buses write their lines,
Clouds erase what they can find.
I gather little moments up,
Before they slip my mind.
There's no orchestra today,
Just the hum behind the wall.
Funny how the smallest things
Can answer the biggest call.
Bridge
Maybe we're all peels and promises,
Curving toward the ground.
Maybe sweetness isn't louder,
Maybe it's the quiet sound.
Quiet sound.
Quiet sound.
Round and round.
Round and round.
Yellow in my hands.
Yellow in my hands.
Yellow in my hands.
Understand.
Final Chorus
I'm eating a banana,
No revelation in disguise.
Just a little golden balance
Keeping daylight in my eyes.
Yellow, yellow
Slowly, slowly
Yellow, yellow
Holy, holy
If the world keeps turning faster,
I'll stay here for one more bite.
I'm eating a banana.
I'm eating a banana.
I'm eating a banana.
Peel it back.
Take a bite.
Yellow light.
Stay the night.
Yellow, yellow.
Yellow, yellow.
Yellow, yellow.
Yellow...
