You're falling further down but I've got you by a thread
I wrap the cord around my arms until my hands start to turn red
But it's not enough, it won't be enough to save you
Mmm

She's so in love with all the things I hate most about myself
I'm so in love with all the sounds she makes when she smiles and, well
It's a little tough to put conker shells on ice sheets
Without breaking through and flooding the whole town

I hope you're alright
I didn't wanna wake up last night
'Cause I quite liked the dream I had of holding your hand
It's funny how slowly time goes
When my thoughts have been racing all this time

It's alright to feel a little bit of darkness now and then
I know I've said it once but I still tell myself again and again:
"You'll never be enough", but what is enough?
You're selfless, isn't that enough?

Banana bread before I go to bed will but the bees to sleep
Otherwise they buzz and sting my lungs all night inside of me
Just wait a little while, you don't cry too much
You know that when you smile
The sun shines more gently

  • I am screaming your deeper voice just makes the song really YES... also really really shows your improvement from the original version of banana bread. I’m proud of you bb
  • “False info I ate an entire loaf of banana bread yesterday and the bees still woke af” This was a comment on the original release of the song, and I still think about it sometimes

    "When you smile, the sun shines more gently" I used to think this line was really weird. Why not "the sun shines more brightly"? Then I realized that the if the sun kept shining brighter, it would get really uncomfortable to see anything. Saying that the sun shines more gently is not only less cliche than saying it shines brightly, but it adds to the meaning to the song. Banana bread is about the narrator soothing their anxiety. An anxious person wouldn't want the bright lights on them to shine brighter; they want calm. That's why something positive like a smile from a friend makes the sun shine more gently to them. I swear, the more I think about his songs, the more I think that cavetown is a freaking genius.

    At the beginning of this year, my best friend tried to end his life by jumping off of a motorway bridge. For months during his recovery, he wasn’t in school and I felt like I’d lost my partner in crime as we had always been inseparable. Due to the nature of his accident, the incident had to be kept secret and I couldn’t go visit him in hospital. Somehow one of the only things that kept me going during that entire period was this song (and mountains by message to bears) and the feeling that I’d done all that I could do to save him. I shared this song with my friend and we ultimately met up to make banana bread together ❤️❤️

    "You'll never be enough." "But what is enough?" "You're selfless, isn't that enough?" This sounds like something a super villain would say after overpowering/tying up the 'hero'.
  • really glad he remade my favourite song of all time :) thank you rob

    Banana Bread Recipe Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 55 minutes Yield: Makes one loaf No need for a mixer for this recipe! Clean-up is easy too, if you want, you can mix everything in one mixing bowl. The best bananas to use for banana bread are those that are over-ripe. The yellow peels should be at least half browned, and the bananas inside squishy and browning. INGREDIENTS 2 to 3 very ripe bananas, peeled 1/3 cup melted butter 1 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt 3/4 cup sugar (1/2 cup if you would like it less sweet, 1 cup if more sweet) 1 large egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour METHOD 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan. 2 In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas. 3 Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour. 4 Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour at 350°F (175°C), or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. 5 Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then remove the banana bread from the pan and let cool completely before serving. Slice and serve. (A bread knife helps to make slices that aren't crumbly.)

    'She's so in love with all the things I hate most about myself' connects with me on a deep level, whenever I hear those lyrics all I can think about is the joy my girlfriend brings to me towards what I see as my imperfections
