When Max and I first started dating, this song was put on multiple mix cd's and it was pretty much played constantly. When I hear this song now, it helps me remember the reasons we fell in love. Sometimes it's good to remember. Life gets in the way much too often.

"Banana Pancakes"
by Jack Johnson

You hardly even notice 

When I try to show you this 

Song it’s meant to keep you 

From doing what you’re supposed to 

Like waking up too early 

Maybe we could sleep in 

I’ll make you banana pancakes 



Pretend like it’s the weekend now 

And we could pretend it all the time 

Can’t you see that it’s just raining 

There ain’t no need to go outside 



But just maybe, hala ka ukulele 

Mama made a baby 

I really don’t mind the practice 

Because you’re my little lady 

Lady, lady love me 

Because I love to lay here lazy 

We could close the curtains 



Pretend like there’s no world outside 

And we could pretend it all the time 

Can’t you see that it’s just raining 

There ain’t no need to go outside 



Ain’t no need, ain’t no need 

Can’t you see, can’t you see 

Rain all day and I don’t mind 



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 

It’s 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, wake up slow 



But baby, you hardly even notice 

When I try to show you this 

Song it’s meant to keep you 

From doing what you’re supposed to 

Like waking up too early 

Maybe we could sleep in 

I’ll make you banana pancakes 



Pretend like it’s the weekend now 

And we could pretend it all the time 

Can’t you see that it’s just raining 

There ain’t no need to go outside 



Ain’t no need, ain’t no need 

Rain all day and I really really really don’t mind 

Can’t you see, can’t you see 

We’ve got to wake up slow
