It Might as Well Be Spring
Embracing Melancholy Bliss: It Might as Well Be Spring's Poetic Reverie
Lyrics
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
Restless and easily swayed, akin to a willow in a windstorm.
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
Nervous and agitated, comparable to a puppet manipulated on a string.
I'd say that I had spring fever
Feeling like experiencing spring fever, a sense of restlessness and excitement.
But I know it isn't spring
Recognizing that the emotions are not actually tied to the season of spring.
I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
Feeling dreamy and dissatisfied, similar to a nightingale without a song.
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Expressing a lack of purpose or fulfillment, akin to a songbird without a melody.
Oh, why should I have Spring fever
Questioning the reason for having spring fever when it is not springtime.
When it isn't even spring?
Reflecting on the inconsistency of experiencing spring fever outside of the spring season.
I keep wishing I were somewhere else
Wishing to be in a different place, possibly seeking change and new experiences.
Walking down a strange new street
Imagining walking in an unfamiliar location, suggesting a desire for novelty.
Hearing words that I have never heard
Yearning for new and unheard words, anticipating encounters with unfamiliar people.
From a girl I've yet to meet
Anxiously awaiting communication from a yet-to-be-met girl.
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
Being occupied with creative thoughts and fantasies, much like a spider spinning webs of daydreams.
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
Feeling lightheaded and joyful, similar to a baby swinging 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, like flowers and birds, yet feeling cheerful.
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
Experiencing happiness in a paradoxical, somewhat melancholic manner.
That it might as well be spring
Suggesting that the current emotional state is so positive that it might as well be spring.
It might as well be spring
Concluding with the idea that the current emotional state is comparable to the vitality of spring.
