About This Track

'Passionfruit' by Paramore is a 2017 track from 'BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge 2017'. The lyrics sketch a strained, self-protective dynamic, with the narrator describing a kind of cleansing and restraint, even as things continue to “fall” into collapse. A tension between two people is framed as something fixed but flickering, like a mismatch that will not quite settle. The chorus leans into distance and longing, with an affectionate obsession sounding slightly out of reach, like passion arriving late and from afar.

"Passionfruit" is a track by Paramore, from the album BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge 2017, released 19th June 2017. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Paramore.

Lyrics

Passionfruit

[Verse 1]

Listen

Seein' you got ritualistic

I'm cleansin' my soul of addiction for now

'Cause we're fallin' apart

A tension

Between us just like picket fences

Well, you got issues that I won't mention for now

'Cause we're fallin' apart

[Chorus]

Passionate from miles away

Passive with the things you say

Passin' up on my old ways

I can't blame you, no, no

Passionate from miles away

Passive with the things you say

Passin' up on my old ways

I can't blame you, no, no, no, no

[Verse 2]

Listen

Harder buildin' trust from a distance

Well, I think we should rule out commitment for now

'Cause we're fallin' apart

Leavin'

You're just doin' that to get even

Don't pick up the pieces, just leave it for now

They keep fallin' apart (Ah, ah)

[Chorus]

Passionate from miles away

Passive with the things you say

Passin' up on my old ways

I can't blame you, no, no, no, no

Passionate from miles away

Passive with the things you say

Passin' up on my old ways

I can't blame you, no, no, no, no, no

[Outro]

I got my eyes on you

You act so different around me

I think there's something

I think there's something, baby

PinkPantheress’s 2021 breakthrough was bigger than a garage revival

PinkPantheress’s early songs made British dance music feel newly intimate, but their collage of emo, pop-punk, bedroom production and sharp lyrical contrasts was equally important.
