It Might as Well Be Spring
Embracing the Restless Yearning
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 restless, likening myself to a puppet controlled by external forces.
I'd say that I had Spring fever
I might describe my feelings as Spring fever, a sense of restlessness and excitement.
But I know it isn't Spring
Despite the Spring-like feelings, I acknowledge that it is not actually Spring.
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, akin to a nightingale without a song.
Oh, why should I have Spring fever
Questioning the reason for having Spring fever when Spring is not in season.
When it isn't even Spring?
Wondering about the legitimacy of Spring fever when it's not the appropriate season.
I keep wishing I were somewhere else
Expressing a desire to be in a different place, away from the current situation.
Walking down a strange new street
Imagining walking down an unfamiliar street, seeking a change in surroundings.
Hearing words that I have never heard
Desiring to hear new and unfamiliar words, possibly from someone unknown.
From a girl I've yet to meet
Anticipating meeting a girl and hearing words from her that I've never heard before.
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
Comparing myself to a busy spider spinning daydreams, indicating a creative and imaginative state.
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
Feeling lightheaded and joyful, like 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 (crocus, rosebud, robin) but still feeling happy in a melancholic way.
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
Expressing a contradictory emotion of feeling cheerful (gay) despite a melancholy undertone.
That it might as well be Spring
Concluding that the current emotional state might as well be Spring, regardless of the actual season.
It might as well be Spring
Reiterating the idea that the current emotional state might as well be Spring.
