Death Cab For Cutie I Was A Kaleidoscope Lyrics

I Was A Kaleidoscope Lyrics



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.
