Springtime Can Kill You
Embrace the Bittersweet Symphony of Springtime's Allure
Lyrics
Go down the back roads, don't take it too slow
Encouragement to travel on less-traveled paths without delay
You don't have the time for a long flirtation
Emphasizing a lack of time for prolonged romantic pursuits
You don't have the time for the least hesitation
Stressing the urgency to avoid hesitation or indecision
Roses all are blooming
Describing the flourishing of roses in spring
Lilacs all aglow
Highlighting the vibrant glow of lilacs in spring
Honeysuckle vine shine, shine
Depicting the brilliance of a honeysuckle vine
Oh, get out, oh, get out of your house
Encouraging the listener to leave their comfort zone
Springtime, springtime can kill you
Warning about the potential dangers of springtime
Just like it did poor me
Personal experience of the singer being adversely affected by spring
Don't you see we're all hurt the same way
Expressing a commonality in shared pain and suffering
So get out, so get out of your house
Reiterating the need to leave one's dwelling
High on the moonshine bodies entwine
Describing a heightened state influenced by moonshine
Don't you see, it's better this way
Suggesting that the current situation is preferable
Don't you see, it's better this way
Reiterating the idea that the present state is better
You can't be too shy
Advice not to be overly reserved or hesitant
You know the reason why
Highlighting the importance of seizing opportunities
If you don't go get what you need
Stressing the consequences of not pursuing one's needs
Something's going to break on the inside
Warning of internal consequences if needs are not met
Springtime, springtime can kill you
Reiteration of the potential harm of springtime
Just like it did poor me
Personal experience of the singer's suffering in spring
Don't you see we're all hurt the same way
Expressing shared pain and vulnerability
So get out, get out of your house
Repeating the advice to leave one's residence
