about

First single from upcoming album "Scene."

lyrics

It’s getting hot out here
It’s not like I remember
The last week of December
And I’m dressed for spring

I shouldn’t be surprised
The years left me desensitized
No time for feeling horrified
Cuz I’m dressed for spring

Junebugs in April
This weather is new
No water, no flowers
And no sign of you
Yeah your pattern changed
Out of your old range
Where’d you go?

Junebugs in April
I’m comfortable now
It’s blue skies forever
It’s no rain allowed
Yeah your pattern changed
Out of your old range
So it goes

They say that polar bears
Are floating like they’re Little Princes
They’re saying all the evidence is
It’s all over now

But bears are too remote to me
Too hard for my mind’s eye to see
I know how upset I should be
But I’m dressed for spring

And that’s a consolation since you’re gone
The days are warm although the nights are long
I’ll take an endtime any day
To keep my mind away
Bye bye

I shouldn’t be surprised
Already overanalyzed
Told everyone about your eyes
And you’re every thing
The rising sun it burns away
Last month, last week, and yesterday
I’ll tell you all I’m not afraid
Cuz I’m dressed for spring
