It Might as Well Be Spring
Embracing Melancholy Bliss: It Might as Well Be Spring Meaning
Lyrics
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
Expressing restlessness, comparing oneself to a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
Feeling nervous and agitated, likening oneself to a puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever
Claiming to have spring fever, though acknowledging it's not spring
But I know it isn't spring
Acknowledging the contradiction of feeling like it's spring despite the season
I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
Feeling dreamy and dissatisfied, resembling a nightingale without a song
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Continuing the nightingale metaphor, expressing a lack of purpose
Oh, why should I have Spring fever
Questioning the reason for having spring fever when it's not spring
When it isn't even spring?
Reiterating the confusion about feeling spring fever out of season
I keep wishing I were somewhere else
Wishing to be somewhere else, yearning for change
Walking down a strange new street
Imagining walking down an unfamiliar street, seeking new experiences
Hearing words that I have never heard
Desiring to hear new words from someone yet to be met
From a girl I've yet to meet
Anticipating encounters with a girl and new conversations
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
Being occupied with daydreams, compared to a spider spinning webs
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
Feeling lightheaded, akin to a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud or a robin on the wing
Noticing the absence of typical signs of spring but still feeling joyful
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
Contrasting a gay (happy) feeling with a melancholy undertone
That it might as well be spring
Concluding that the current emotional state might as well be spring
It might as well be spring
Affirming that the emotions might as well be associated with spring
