I had love so unrequited
I had love so uninvited
All the lines that I recited
Were the lines I never used
I had hoped to love you sweetly
You had hoped to end it neatly
I showed up; you did not meet me
I was hopeless and confused
Spring had sprung; I got stung
All the air went from my lungs
Speakers blast a false forecast
'Cause I thought the dog days were done
I thought the dog days were done
Summer came before we knew it
If I had the chance, I blew it
Kept you in the coop; you flew it
Slur the words and sing along
Come the fall, I found a lady
Still I kept ahold of maybe
Saw me cry just like a baby
Only for to write this song
Winter came and I felt slain
And then I nearly lost my brain
Went back home and hearts were broken
Hoping we could stop this train
Hoping we could stop this train
Spring has sprung again
I know I've worn you thin
This time I call you friend
The sun is up and spring has sprung again
It's been a year; I haven't known you
Acting like one day I'd own you
Nothing could I give or loan you
'Cept the words "I'm sorry" for
Hoping I could keep you flattered
Knowing now what was the matter
Ate the icing, chucked the batter
Belly aching on the floor
Darling buds, the blossoms bloom
And everything comes out like new
I face the floods the rain brings through
Just so I can sing with you
Just so I can sing with you
Spring has sprung again
I know I've worn you thin
This time I call you friend
The sun is up and spring has sprung again
The sun is up and spring has sprung again
The sun is up and spring has sprung again
