Why does banana get shotgun?

Take me to the side
And say that you think things have changed
And that your about to disintegrate
And then when i see you,
You leer right through me

And you know that i still love you,
Yeah you know that's true
And you know that things wont change

Sing a song that we both know,
Not too fast but not too slow
Prying at what lies deep within me
You can't see
And then when i see you,
You leer right through me,
But that stone cold glare breaks down the walls i've built around myself

And you know that i still love you,
Yeah you know that's true.
And you know that things won't change

Something you never said,
Rings clear inside my head.
The words you never spoke,
That go choked up in my throat
I can read you like a book,
I know you can do the same
So put your hand in mine
