It Might as Well Be Spring
Embracing the Restlessness of a Seasonless Heart
Lyrics
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I feel unsettled and agitated, much like a willow tree in a strong wind.
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I'm nervous and twitchy, similar to a puppet being manipulated on strings.
I'd say that I had spring fever
I think I have spring fever, a restless and excited feeling associated with spring.
But I know it isn't spring
Despite feeling like it's spring fever, I acknowledge that it isn't actually spring.
I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
I'm dreamy and discontented, akin to a nightingale without a song.
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
I feel like I lack purpose, similar to a nightingale without a song to sing.
Oh, why should I have Spring fever
Why do I experience spring fever when it's not the season for it?
When it isn't even spring?
I question why I feel this way when spring hasn't arrived.
I keep wishing I were somewhere else
I desire to be somewhere else, away from my current situation.
Walking down a strange new street
I imagine myself walking down an unfamiliar street.
Hearing words that I have never heard
I long to hear new and unfamiliar words.
From a girl I've yet to meet
I anticipate meeting a girl and hearing her words for the first time.
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
I'm engrossed in my thoughts, much like a spider spinning daydreams.
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I'm lighthearted and excited, similar to a baby on a swing.
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud or a robin on the wing
I haven't seen signs of spring like crocuses, rosebuds, or robins, yet I feel joyful.
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
Despite the absence of traditional spring indicators, I feel happy in a somewhat sad manner.
That it might as well be spring
My emotions are so positive that it feels like spring, even though it's not.
It might as well be spring
My current emotional state might as well be attributed to spring, despite the actual season.
