"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. cars on slippery slopes,
they're 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. 

This is when i forget breathe all the things i scripted,
they sound unfounded.
And the look that you're giving me, it tells me exactly what
you are thinking...
"this ain't working anymore." 
  
They got their mothers worked into a panic
Sledding down hills into oncoming traffic
The parents layered clothes until the children couldn't move
then kept them outside til their noises 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.
