Banana Ghost Lyrics

please don't go and build a fence around your heart
like you've done before
when you're losing ground
i know i can't wait
i don't even have the strength to begin to imitate the dying little bird you've saved when the night breaks
and the clouds shake
and your hopes ache to someday be redeemed
please don't go and build a fence around your heart
like you've done before when your losing grace
and i know i can't wait
i don't even have the strength to begin to imitate the dying little bird you've saved when the night breaks
and the clouds shake
and your hopes ache to someday be redeemed
her face is a curtain of this truth i'm certain i know i know i know
so please don't go and build a fence around your heart like you've done before when you're losing ground
i know i can't wait
i don't even have the strength to begin to imitate the dying little bird you've saved

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.

This is the best. I love the way they put the words together... fuck I can't describe it. Amazing.

I'm pretty sure 1:19 is the best guitar solo I've ever heard.

I was a little wary of this song at first, now it's just amazing. and these lines are just amazing:

âwhen the night breaks and the clouds shake and your hopes ache to someday be redeemedâž
