The First Day Of Spring - Ben Weasel

Remember when you said last year

This had gone too far

And you were gonna try to find a way to make it stick this time?

Summer came and went

You couldn’t make the rent

You figured, «I'll get by

I always do, some way, somehow»

Then one step forward, three steps back

Another day will pass

By the time that autumn came

You’d called in all your favors

You were running games on anyone who still called you a friend

As if we didn’t know everything that you were up to

It’s nothing new

It’s up to you to fix it this time

One step forward, three steps back

Another day has passed

Summer’s always gone too fast

And winter always lasts too long for you

But your last chances ran out years ago

And everyone you know has eulogies on hand

'Cause you’re as good as gone in almost every way

Please don’t fade away

Please don’t fade away

Winter always hits too hard

It catches us off guard

It gets the best of us, but the rest of us manage to get by

We feel the bright and cold embrace of March surround us

And we know it’s time to welcome in the first day of spring

Another day’s gone by
