Take It Slow
The Vaughans Lyrics

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm, I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string
I am feeling anxious and uneasy, unable to calm down or relax.

I'd say that I had spring fever, but I know it isn't spring
Although I feel restless and excited, it's not because of the change of season.

I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented, like a nightingale without a song to sing
I am feeling a mix of hopeful and dissatisfied emotions, like a bird without a purpose to sing for.

O why should I have spring fever, when it isn't even spring
I am questioning why I feel this way, as there seems to be no obvious reason for my restlessness.

I keep wishing I were someone else, walking down a strange new street
I have a desire to be someone different, experiencing new and exciting things in a fresh environment.

And hearing words that I've never heard from a girl I've yet to meet
I long to meet someone new, and hear unique and captivating things they have to say.

I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams, spinning spinning daydreams
In my head, I am constantly crafting elaborate and fantastical mental scenarios and possibilities.

I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
My emotions are fluctuating and I am feeling light-headed and excited.

I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud, or a robin on the wing
Even though there are no visible signs of spring or new beginnings around me, I still feel energized.

But I feel so gay in a melancholy way, that it might as well be spring
Despite feeling somewhat sad, I am still experiencing a sense of happiness and buoyancy, as if it were indeed spring.

It might as well be spring
This phrase reinforces the idea that, regardless of the time of year, my emotions are akin to those one feels in the springtime.
