lyrics

Nobody told the grass to stay inside / No one explained it’s safer to stay hidden away / So it came right out and reached up to the sky / Not even aware of rules it dared others to break / I find myself suspicious of the green / So vibrant and inviting when we all should be in hiding / This patch of earth was empty yesterday / Look at it now, packed as a crowd, blade against blade / I’m afraid / Will my inhale be infected by the lilac and the rose? / Every exhale sighing my desire just to get up and go / Spring fever: there’s no medicine to take / Just wait for it to go away / Nobody told the buds to stay inside / And they can be seen emerging from the tips of the trees / Nobody told the daffodil to shelter in the bulb / To put a mask over the tulips and the dewy breath of mud / Because my inhale gets infected by the lilac and the rose / Every exhale sighing my desire just to get up and go / Spring fever: there’s no medicine to take / Just wait for it to go away / And hope and pray / Has anyone told the grizzly bear to stay inside the cave this year? / ‘Cause nobody told the magnolia that her blossoms shouldn’t sprout / The butterflies and bees affirm, the robin tugging at the worm / Nature’s calling-- “Everybody out!” / It’s contagious / There’s no doubt / My inhale is infected by the lilac and the rose / Every exhale sighing my desire but there’s nowhere to go / Feeling feverish / Nothing I can take / Just wait / Hope this goes away
