I Was A Kaleidoscope(By DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE)

I put on my overcoat 
And walked into winter 
My teeth chattered rhythms 
And they were grouped in twos or threes 
Like a morse code message was sent from me to me 
And cars on slippery slopes were stuck 
People pushing through their mittens 
As I was beginning 
To feel it soaking through my shoes 
Getting colder with every step 
I took to your apartment, dear 

And I was a kaleidoscope 
The snow on my lenses distorting the image 
Of what was only one of you 
And I didn't know which one to address 
As all your lips moved 

And this is when I forget to breathe 
And all the things I scripted 
They sound unfounded 
And it's the look that your giving me 
That tells me exactly what you are thinking: 
"This ain't working anymore" 

They got their mothers worked in to a panic 
Sledding down hills into oncoming traffic 
And parents layered clothes until the children couldn't move 
and then left them outside until their noses were blue 
and I got left there, too 

I put on my overcoat 
And walked into winter 
My teeth chattered rhythms 
And they were grouped in twos or threes 
Like a morse code message was sent from me to me
