lyrics

No Spring Skips Its Turn

Winter’s grip feels unrelenting at some point this has to end
All that’s cold and condescending will someday turn warm again

The wind still cuts when it hits you
The air still makes your lungs burn
We all wanted a quick ending
But we’ve had to learn no spring skips its term
We all want some resolution
But we’ve had to learn no spring skips its turn

I feel the rust, the cabin fever, the endless sitting on needles and pins
The burnt nerves from running heaters, I can’t stop itching this sandpaper skin
Got window seats for this bleak season, longing to see a solitary bird
Yes change will come but there’s a sequence and no spring ever skips its turn

The tyrant spell that once possessed me is slowly starting to melt away
The bitter chill, once so repressing, may finally relinquish the reigns

The wind still cuts when it hits you
The air still makes your lungs burn
We all wanted a quick ending
But we’ve had to learn no spring skips its term
We all want some resolution
But we’ve had to learn no spring skips its turn
We've seen the darkest of this season
And we had to learn no spring skips its turn
