It Might as Well Be Spring
Embracing the Whims of Restlessness: It Might as Well Be Spring
Lyrics
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I feel unsettled and agitated, comparing myself to a willow in a windstorm.
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I am nervous and jittery, likening myself to a puppet controlled by external forces.
I'd say that I had spring fever
I claim to have spring fever, a sense of restlessness and excitement typically associated with spring.
But I know it isn't spring
I acknowledge that it's not actually spring, questioning the source of my feelings.
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented
I am dreamy and dissatisfied, comparing myself to a nightingale without a song.
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Expressing a longing for something more, like a nightingale without a song.
Oh why should I have spring fever
Questioning the reason for having spring fever when it's not the actual season.
When it isn't even spring?
Raising the irony of experiencing spring fever when it's not springtime.
And I keep wishing I were somewhere else
Expressing a desire to be in a different place or situation.
Walking on a strange new street
Imagining walking in an unfamiliar place, suggesting a longing for change.
Hearing words I've never heard before
Anticipating hearing new and unfamiliar words from a yet-to-be-met person.
From a man I've yet to meet
Imagining encounters with a person yet unknown.
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
Busy with imaginative thoughts, likened to a spider spinning daydreams.
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
Feeling lightheaded and carefree, like a baby on a swing.
Oh and I haven't seen a rosebud or a crocus
Noticing the absence of traditional signs of spring like rosebuds, crocuses, or robins.
Or a robin on the wing
Highlighting the lack of typical spring imagery, yet experiencing a sense of happiness.
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
Feeling joyous in a melancholic way, possibly expressing conflicting emotions.
That it might as well be spring
Suggesting that the current state feels so much like spring that it might as well be.
It might as well be spring
Reiterating the idea that the current feelings are akin to those experienced in spring.
