“Opals & Banonos” is about Jason wanting to restart with someone and fix a bad situation. However, this person deals with these issues in a different way and never complains, something Jason appreciates them for.
Jason commented on the song saying;
It’s about admiring someone dear to me who co...
[Verse 1]
Wouldn't you wanna go back, go back, go back
To the home hearts, to your home hearts
Wouldn't you wanna step back, step back, step back
Or take a false start, say it was a false start
Wouldn't you wanna unpack, these stacks, relax
Or take a home, run, take a home run
Wouldn't you wanna go back, go back, go back
[Bridge]
Are you fooling with your mind (Are you fooling with your mind)
Are you falling with the times so slow
It holds me down
Wouldn't you step off the track
Retract, retract
[Chorus]
And they're never gonna catch your stall
When you're floating, to your own metronome
And they're never gonna count you out
When you're coping, with swallowing stones
[Verse 2]
And you never complain, oh
When it's been heavy raining, and it pour, pour, pours
I know that it's draining little strain on your eyes
Navigate to blue skies
But I just don't know how, I'm broken down
It would buckle me down and it buckles you down but just for a second
Ooh just for a second, never second
[Chorus]
And they're never gonna catch your stall
When you're floating, to your own metronome
And they're never gonna count you out
When you're coping, with swallowing stones
[Post-Chorus]
And I'm never gonna catch you
Never gonna catch you, never gonna catch you stall
Never gonna catch you, never gonna catch you at all
Never gonna catch you
Never gonna catch you, never gonna catch you stall
Never gonna catch you never gonna catch you at all
[Skit]
I like to eat, eat, eat
Opals and Banonos
I like to eat, eat, eat
Apples and Bananas

[My favourite song is] Opals, It’s a really personal track with lots of personal references, […] it pulls from lots of different genres from the jazzy bass line in the second chorus to the disco influenced backing vocals.
